Dear CCP4ers,
Kim Henrick from EBI sent me pointers to
http://ligand-expo.rcsb.org/ld-search.html
and to
http://www.ebi.ac.uk/msd-srv/msdchem/cgi-bin/cgi.pl
for looking up reference dictionaries. Especially, the first link turns
out to be a gorgeous site for getting refrence dictionaries! This is
exactly what I was looking for, and, in my opinion, both sites should be
prominently linked from www.pdd.org/www.wwpdb.org.
Many thanks to Randy Read, Miri Hirshberg and Kim Henrick for your fast
help!
Best regards,
Dirk.
