Collaborative Computational Project Number 4
Encyclopedia
The Collaborative Computational Project Number 4 in protein crystallography or (CCP4) was set up in 1979 in the United Kingdom
to support collaboration between researchers working in software development and assemble a comprehensive collection of software for structural biology
. The CCP4 core team is located at the Research Complex at Harwell (RCaH) at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory
(RAL) in Didcot
, near Oxford, UK.
CCP4 was originally supported by the UK Science and Engineering Research Council (SERC), and is now supported by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC). The project is coordinated at CCLRC Daresbury Laboratory. The results of this effort gave rise to the CCP4 program suite, which is now distributed to academic and commercial users worldwide.

Structural biology
Structural biology is a branch of molecular biology, biochemistry, and biophysics concerned with the molecular structure of biological macromolecules, especially proteins and nucleic acids, how they acquire the structures they have, and how alterations in their structures affect their function...
