Methods in structural biology

York is world-renowned for the development of the experimental - and in particular computational - methods used by crystallographers worldwide. 

This includes new approaches in molecular replacement and refinement (MOLREP, REFMAC) as well as increased streamlining model building into electron density (QUANTA and COOT).

York is also a major centre for the UK collaborative effort in crystallographic computing, CCP4.
