PG - 4-7 AB - The crystallization of macromolecules remains a major bottleneck in structural biology. The routine screening of more than one thousand crystallization conditions and subsequent optimization by fine screening presents a challenge to conventional laboratory notebook keeping. In addition, the development of high-throughput robotic crystallization and imaging systems presents a pressing need for low-cost laboratory information management system (LIMS). Here we describe CLIMS2, a crystallization LIMS that features a simple, user-friendly graphical interface, allowing the storage, management, retrieval and mining of crystallization data. The CLIMS2 executable and documentation is freely available at http://clims.med.monash.edu.au. CI - 2005 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
