‘Broken symmetries’ in macromolecular crystallography: phasing from unmerged data

Site-specific radiation damage and anisotropy of anomalous scattering can induce intensity differences in symmetry-related reflections. If the data are kept unmerged, these symmetry-breaking effects can become a source of phase information.
