Manuals and documentation

The training material below is the best entry into the pipeline, and explains in details all the steps for carrying out an experiment.

• Introduction to XChem
• XChem Directory Structure and Linux commands 
• Achieving Efficient Fragment Screening at XChem Facility at Diamond Light Source (JoVE)
• Data analysis (XCE & PanDDA)
• XChem Drop in session (2024-07-15)

Disclaimer: please note that we try our best to keep the documentation as up-to-date as possible but it can take some time!

All of the data processing for your XChem experiement can be carried out from your home institution, using remote access to Diamond servers and computing.

• Remote access to a Diamond Linux environment is available through NoMachine - Access Diamond desktop
• Within the Diamond Linux Environment, set up the XChem paths if this is the first time using the software ("source /dls/science/groups/i04-1/software/XChem/xchempaths.sh")
• From there, change directory to your visit/processing directory, and use 'xce' to start XChem Explorer, or 'tserver' to open a windows server environment for access to soakDB.
