title: LISA: an intranet-based flexible database for protein crystallography project management.
abstract: The increase in the number of projects carried out in protein crystallography laboratories has emphasized the need for effective management of project information and data. To meet this need, a flexible web-accessible database for protein crystallography project management (LISA) has been developed using the open-source software MySQL and PHP4. The database contains information about all aspects of structure-determination projects, including primer and plasmid sequences, protein expression, purification and crystallization results, structure coordinate files and resultant publications. The database web pages include links to relevant servers and contain, in addition, tools for processing stored information. The software package is freely available.
