macromolecular crystallography library and utilities

CI Build status

GEMMI can help if you work with:

  • macromolecular models (from mmCIF, PDB and mmJSON files),
  • refinement restraints (CIF files),
  • crystallographic reflections (from MTZ and SF-mmCIF files),
  • electron density maps (MRC/CCP4 files),
  • crystallographic symmetries,
  • or if you just read and write CIF/STAR files (where C=Crystallographic).

GEMMI is a header-only C++11 library accompanied by:

  • command-line tools,
  • Python bindings (supporting CPython and PyPy),
  • Fortran 2003+ interface (in progress),
  • WebAssembly ports (see here and here),
  • and little data viz projects.

GEMMI is an open-source project of CCP4 and Global Phasing Ltd, two major providers of software for macromolecular crystallography.
