SEQUENCE SLIDER: expanding polyalanine fragments for phasing with multiple side-chain hypotheses

When phasing cannot be accomplished from a partial polyalanine starting model, extending the model with side chains in a multi-solution way may succeed. SEQUENCE SLIDER implements this approach for use in ARCIMBOLDO.
