MERLOT, an integrated package of computer programs for the determination of crystal structures by molecular replacement
Abstract
MERLOT is an integrated package of computer programs for the determination of initial models of crystal structures using the molecular replacement technique. The package includes two programs for calculating the rotation function, three methods for solving the translation problem (a translation function, a packing function and an R value mapping program) and a program for optimizing a potential solution. The programs are applicable to both macromolecular and small molecule structure determinations. All non-centrosymmetric space groups (excluding rhombohedral and cubic) are provided for.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
