MOSFLM
MOSFLM is a software package for processing X-ray diffraction data from single crystals, primarily used in structural biology and crystallography. It automates tasks like indexing diffraction patterns, integrating reflection intensities, and scaling data to determine atomic structures of molecules. The tool is widely employed in academic and industrial research for analyzing protein, small molecule, and material crystals.
Developers should learn MOSFLM when working in structural biology, pharmaceutical research, or materials science to process crystallographic data efficiently. It is essential for automating data reduction from synchrotron or laboratory X-ray sources, enabling accurate structure determination of biological macromolecules or novel compounds. Use cases include drug discovery, protein engineering, and academic research in chemistry and biology.
