Dear Colleagues,
Have you ever heard of Auto-Rickshaw?
Auto-Rickshaw is the EMBL Hamburg automated structure determination
platform, which is now available as a web service. Try it out and solve your
structure in minutes.
The EMBL-Hamburg beamline user have been successfully using this system for a
little over three years. Now, for the new release with a lot
of added functionalities, we are happy to announce that Auto-Rickshaw
can be accessed by anybody in the Structural Biology community.
The Auto-Rickshaw phasing protocols include SAD, SIRAS, MAD, MR and
MRSAD. There are two versions: a "beamline version" and an "advanced version".
The beamline version is geared towards speed so as to deliver the results in
the shortest amount of time whereas the advanced version can be used for more
complete model building if the resolution of the data permits.

The Auto-Rickshaw server is freely accessible to users who have the
necessary software licences. Academic usage requires free of charge on-online
registration at the same web site. Further inquiries can be made to Santosh

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the developers of the
various crystallographic programs for their kind permission to invoke their
software within Auto-Rickshaw. We also gratefully acknowledge the feedback
from the EMBL-Hamburg beamline users and everybody who provided test data.
