Crystal structure determination and refinement<i>via</i><i>SIR2014</i>

Abstract

SIR2014 is the latest program of the SIR suite for crystal structure solution of small, medium and large structures. A variety of phasing algorithms have been implemented, both ab initio (standard or modern direct methods, Patterson techniques, Vive la Différence ) and non- ab initio (simulated annealing, molecular replacement). The program contains tools for crystal structure refinement and for the study of three-dimensional electron-density maps via suitable viewers.
