MAIN is an interactivelly driven computer program dealing with computational parts of macromolecular crystallography

MAIN runs on Silicon Graphics, Digital, Hewlett Packard and Evans & Sutherland workstations.

MAIN runs on Silicon Graphics, Digital, Hewlett Packard and Evans MAIN home departments are located at Jozef Stefan Institute in Ljubljana, Slovenia, and at Max-Planck Institute for Biochemistry in Martinsried, Germany.

I am gathering links to Macromolecular Crystallography Software WWW Sites . In a case you want yours or somebodyelses software listed and it isn't there or it is not properly classified please conntact me at dusan.turk@ijs.si.

Creation of an HTML based MAIN documentation is still under development. However, you may wish to access the current
