- Birstol-Myers Squibb recently joined six other industrial partners to advance the development of PHENIX (Python-based Hierarchical EnviroNment for Integrated Xtallography), software that automates the macromolecular protein structure determination process. All industry partners contribute funds to software development in addition to licensing the code. PHENIX is designed to significantly decrease the time required to solve a structure, thus providing increased throughput for users at all levels. The PHENIX project is led by Dr. Paul Adams in Physical Biosciences Division. For more information on PHENIX, please visit here.
