Introduction To the Use of Non-Crystallographic Symmetry in Phasing

The methodology is reviewed with particular attention to developments since prior review, and to aspects most important to the improvement and extension of crudely approximated initial phases as might be encountered in ab initio structure determinations. The fundamental similarity between symmetry and multiple crystal averaging is emphasized.
