Abstract

Direct Methods revolutionised small molecule crystallography in the 1970s. Until recently macromolecules have presented an intractable challenge to such approaches, but there is a pressing need today to provide macromolecular structure solutions as quickly and automatically as possible, owing to the vast number of important proteins becoming available inter alia through the sequence of whole genomes. Direct Methods are presently poised to make a significant contribution here. This proposal combines the expertise of theoreticians and experimentalists, especially exploiting either atomic resolution of MAD data from synchrotron radiation (SR).
