20150505: Work in progress (throughout the course)

Content:


Introduction

Here we will collect some information regarding use of our software (during tutorials or when using it on your own) that is particular to the setup during RapiData 2015.

We will try and keep this page here up-to-date as we get settled in during the course.


Tutorial schedule

We are giving tutorials on autoPROC (data processing - see here) and SHARP/autoSHARP (experimental phasing and structure solution) in Building 137E 2nd floor, room 226 - see this map.

Please use the sign-up sheets outside the lecture hall so that we can plan the tutorials. But otherwise: just find us and talk to us at any time during the course (coffee/lunch breaks are a good opportunity) - especially if you are interested in discussing data collection strategies for experimental phasing before doing the actual experiment!


Setup

There are different ways of running autoSHARP:

      Experimental Phasing
        --> Automated Search & Phasing
              --> autoSHARP

Tutorials

Most of the information here should be enough to download some example data and start using autoSHARP through any of the above interfaces.

Remember that you can download the provided example files

You can then upload those files to the SHARP server from the main Control panel via the "upload files" link
