TLDR
In this article, a phase annealing method, related to the simulated-annealing approach in other optimization problems, is proposed and it is shown that it can result in an improvement of up to an order of magnitude in the chances of solving large structures at atomic resolution.
Abstract
A number of extensions to the multisolution approach to the crystallographic phase problem are discussed in which the negative quartet relations play an important role. A phase annealing method, related to the simulated annealing approach in other optimization problems, is proposed and it is shown that it can result in an improvement of up to an order of magnitude in the chances of solving large structures at atomic resolution. The ideas presented here are incorporated in the program system SHELX-90; the philosophical and mathematical background to the direct-methods part (SHELXS) of this system is described.

Antisymmetric exchange in two tricopper(II) complexes containing a [Cu3(μ3-OMe)]5+ core

TL;DR: These are the first examples of triangular Cu(II) compounds bearing a [Cu3micro3-OR)]5+(R is not equal to H) core motif, and the first triangular compounds showing antisymmetric exchange to have been analysed by both susceptibility and EPR measurements.

Crystal Structure of a Viral FLIP INSIGHTS INTO FLIP-MEDIATED INHIBITION OF DEATH RECEPTOR SIGNALING

TL;DR: A high resolution crystal structure of MC159 is reported, a v-FLIP derived from the molluscum contagiosum virus, which is a member of the human poxvirus family, and its two tandem death effector domains rigidly associate with each other through a hydrophobic interface, suggesting a mechanism by which v- FLIP and c-FLIPS inhibit death receptor signaling.
