XtalView (McRee, 1993[link]) is a crystallographic software package for fitting electron-density maps and solving crystal structures of macromolecules by MIR and MAD methods. Applications include graphics, visualization, virtual reality, modelling and structure determination. It has a simple but comprehensive Windows-based interface. The main menu drives a suite of crystallographic modules by clicking on icons. Standard file formats are used, which facilitate communication between XtalView and programs such as X-PLOR, TNT and MERLOT.

Location: http://www.sdsc.edu/CCMS/Packages/XTALVIEW/xtalview.html . Operating systems: UNIX, SGI, SUN, DEC, IBM and LINUX. Type: source code and binary. Distribution: free academic.
