Crystallography & NMR System (CNS) (Brünger et al., 1998[link]) is a new program suite for structure determination of macromolecules by X-ray crystallography or solution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The program has been designed to provide a flexible multi-level hierarchical approach for the most commonly used algorithms in macromolecular structure determination. Highlights include heavy-atom searching, experimental phasing (including MAD and MIR), density modification, crystallographic refinement with maximum-likelihood targets, and NMR structure calculation using NOEs, J coupling, chemical shift and dipolar coupling data. CNS is the result of an international collaborative effort among several research groups. See Chapter 18.2[link] and Section 25.2.3[link] for more details.
