- Abstract
- Ab initio macromolecular phasing has been so far limited to small proteins diffracting at atomic resolution (beyond 1.2 angstrom) unless heavy atoms are present. We describe a general ab initio phasing method for 2 angstrom data, based on combination of localizing model fragments such as small alpha-helices with Phaser and density modification with SHELXE. We implemented this approach in the program Arcimboldo to solve a 222-amino-acid structure at 1.95 angstrom.
