BALBES is a system for solving protein structures using x-ray crystallographic data. Molecular Replacement (MR) is its core scientific method. BALBES aims to integrate all components, necessary for finding a solution structure by MR, into one system. It consists of a database, scientific programs and a python pipeline. The system is automated so that it needs no user intervention when running a complicated combination of jobs such as model searching, molecular replacement and refinement.

Using balbes

To initialize the environment use the module command:

xwhich balbes
