OASIS: a computer program for breaking phase ambiguity in one-wavelength anomalous scattering or single isomorphous substitution (replacement) data

Abstract

The phase problem is reduced to a sign problem once the anomalous-scatterer or the replacing-heavy-atom sites are located.OASISadopts theCCP4 format [Collaborative Computational Project, Number 4 (1994).Acta Cryst.D50, 760–763]. It applies a direct-method procedure to break the phase ambiguity intrinsic to one-wavelength anomalous scattering (OAS) or single isomorphous replacement (SIR) data.
