Acta D November

Interesting Acta D papers I read recently:

Acta Cryst. (2005). D61, 1465-1475
A modified ACORN to solve protein structures at resolutions of 1.7 Å or better
J. Jia-xing, M. M. Woolfson, K. S. Wilson and E. J. Dodson

The authors develop an extrapolation method to extend the resolution to a limit that exeeds the experimental resolution limit. I think I have seen something similar
(besides the recent Giacovazzo paper and old Hauptman/Karle work) by some powder people who use the relations such as triplets and so on to predict missing intensities:
J. Appl. Cryst. (1992). 25, 237-243
On the determination of accurate intensities from powder diffraction data. II. Estimation of intensities of overlapping reflections
Jansen, Peschar & Schenk


Also enjoyable:

Acta Cryst. (2005). D61, 1514-1520
FINDMOL: automated identification of macromolecules in electron-density maps
McKee et al.

Still to read:
