Holographic Reconstruction for Macromolecular Structure Completion in X-Ray Crystallography by Iterative Applications of Linear Programming

Abstract

The problem of the recovery of some unknown part of a crystal structure from a knowledge of another part of the structure and X-ray diffraction intensities is a familiar problem in crystallography. Amongst the techniques developed for tackling this problem is the difference Fourier method. Another one, recently proposed by Szöke [1], is based on an analogy with holography [2].
