A six‐dimensional molecular‐replacement procedure has been implemented using Perl scripts and the CCP 4 version of the translation function of the molecular‐replacement program AMoRe . These tools have allowed the structure determination of CTLA‐4 monomer from NMR‐derived coordinates, and of a potential complex of MurD with a substrate. In both cases other molecular‐replacement programs, X‐PLOR and AMoRe , when used in a conventional manner, either failed or did not yield an obvious solution.
