ALIXE (ARCIMBOLDO)
Combining multiple partial solutions in reciprocal space. ALIXE combines information from multiple partial solutions to improve the starting map to reveal the full structure. This has been shown to aid structure solution, especially in difficult cases; combining partial solutions also reduces redundancy and hence the time required to evaluate them. It is integrated into the ARCIMBOLDO programs as well as available as a standalone, to combine results from other phasing methods.
