Tossup
EADP and AFIX are constraints employed while analyzing data from this technique to prevent anisotropic thermal factors from going negative. In some analysis pipelines for this technique, Fourier-transformed factors below a threshold charge are multiplied by -1 and iteratively recalculated in a dual-space algorithm called charge flipping. George Sheldrick created the ShelX program for analyzing data from this technique, whose data can be analyzed either with direct methods or by correcting using Patterson functions. This technique’s data can be analyzed with the Olex2 package, although it can be complicated by twinning. Data from this technique must correct for the phase problem before it can be used to “solve” for electron densities. For 10 points, name this technique that uses Bragg’s law and radiation to determine molecular structures. ■END■
