Methods and programs for direct-space exploitation of geometric redundancies

Bricogne, G.·1976·Acta Crystallographica Section A

Abstract

Phases can be determined for geometrically redundant amplitudes by iteration of the following procedure: compute an electron density map from the currently available phases; average the electron densities of all the crystallographically independent molecules; rebuild the crystal(s) from this averaged subunit, setting the density outside the molecular boundaries to its average value; obtain phase information from the resulting structure, and combine it with that given by isomorphous replacement to produce the phases to be used in the next iteration. This algorithm converges very rapidly, and has proved to be a powerful tool in the solution of two large unknown protein structures. This paper describes the computational techniques developed to implement it, which include a swift and general method for real-space averaging of electron density maps.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
