Reciprocal Net is a collection of molecular structure information that is affiliated with the National Science Digital Library. The Reciprocal Net Site Network is an online community that maintains a distributed database of crystallographic data. The site software described by this manual allows the operator to participate in the distributed database and is intended to be run at crystallographic facilities (that analyze crystals submitted by research chemists) located at major research universities.
The Reciprocal Net site software is a web application that can be used to track crystal samples submitted to your laboratory for analysis, and can be configured to allow the sample provider access to the data you collect. Many sample providers find the site software’s web-based visualization features particularly useful. Chief among these features is JaMM, a Java applet that displays molecular models and can generate ray-traced 3-D images, ORTEP diagrams, and line drawings.
The Reciprocal Net Site
Network is a distributed database, which means
that it’s easy for your laboratory to contribute the sample data it collects to
the public.
