CCP4i2: Graphical User Interface
- The latest documentation on GitLab
CCP4 Cloud
Individual programs
The distribution contains individual program documentation for all programs in HTML format. It is intended that users look at the documentation locally, to ensure compatibility with the locally installed programs. However, the documentation is also available here (currently for the previous release only):
- Program documentation
- The list of programs can also be seen grouped by function.

CCP4 User Community Wiki
The CCP4 User Community Wiki was established by Kay Diederichs. It is intended to be a collection of crystallographic knowledge as discussed on the CCP4 mailing list, and elsewhere. It is wider in scope than CCP4 as it may contain information about anything relevant to protein crystallographers, whether methods-related (“what is the best program for purpose X?”), problem-oriented (“my crystals melt if I look at them”), or concerning hardware (“what is your opinion on robot X / computer Y?”).
Crystallographic Guidance
As well as information on how to use the programs, the individual program documentation in the CCP4 installation contains background information on the science behind the programs, which is well worth reading.
Certain topics warrant a document dedicated to them. Examples of these are: re-indexing, twinning, alternate origins, cheshire cells, symmetry, and density modification. These are distributed with the suite in the ‘General’ section of the documentation (which is the version to use for reasons described above), and are also available here:
Maths for Protein Crystallographers
Eleanor Dodson prepared a document containing all the maths a protein crystallographer might come up against. It serves to have this all together, and available on the web, so Maria Turkenburg developed it further. It is distributed with the suite (which is the version to use, for reasons described above) as a set of documents in which certain symbols are represented by small .gif-pictures. This is not ideal, since a change of font by the user may make them stand out badly from the text. It is recommended to view the documents with 12pt Times and 10pt Courier fonts. They are also available here:
