PG - 658-674 AB - Phaser is a program for phasing macromolecular crystal structures by both molecular replacement and experimental phasing methods. The novel phasing algorithms implemented in Phaser have been developed using maximum likelihood and multivariate statistics. For molecular replacement, the new algorithms have proved to be significantly better than traditional methods in discriminating correct solutions from noise, and for single-wavelength anomalous dispersion experimental phasing, the new algorithms, which account for correlations between F(+) and F(-), give better phases (lower mean phase error with respect to the phases given by the refined structure) than those that use mean F and anomalous differences DeltaF. One of the design concepts of Phaser was that it be capable of a high degree of automation. To this end, Phaser (written in C++) can be called directly from Python, although it can also be called using traditional CCP4 keyword-style input. Phaser is a platform for future development of improved phasing methods and their release, including source code, to the crystallographic community.

PG - 1465-75 AB - ACORN has previously been shown to provide an efficient density-modification procedure for the solution of protein structures using diffraction data to better than 1.3 A. The initial phase set could be obtained from a variety of sources such as the position of a heavy atom, a set of scatterers such as S that had been positioned from anomalous dispersion measurements, a fragment or a very low homology model placed from a molecular-replacement search. Several structures solved using the early version of ACORN have been reported in the literature. Here, the effect of applying the original ACORN procedures at lower resolution is reported and new procedures that yield good-quality maps with data sets of resolution down to 1.7 A are described. These new procedures involve the artificial extension of data to atomic resolution and new density-modification processes that develop density at atomic positions that was previously suppressed. The test calculations were aimed firstly towards a proof of principle using a small fragment of a known structure to demonstrate that the procedure could generate correct density and a derived model in initially empty regions of the cell. Further tests addressed the use of more realistic starting models.
