HKL Research, Inc., the world's leading macromolecular X-ray crystallographic software vendor, announces immediate availability of an optimized and enhanced HKL-2000 software for Mac OS X.
HKL-2000, a new program package based on the original HKL Suite, is the premier software of choice for structural biology. Analysis of the Protein Data Bank (PDB) shows that nearly 80% of all entries were processed with the HKL/HKL-2000 package.
Available for Apple computers running Mac OS X and with screen resolution better than 1440x900 pixels, the HKL-2000 software package provides crystallographers with several important benefits related to: strategy and simulation, 3-D processing, mosaicity refinement during processing, as well as variable spot size. Due to its 3-D processing strategy, HKL-2000 can handle data from crystals with high mosaicity.
X-ray crystallography is a core technique used to elucidate protein and small molecule structures. These studies are essential for NIH Protein Structure Initiative and for rational drug design as an integral part of new drug discovery and development
