What is it about?
Experimental phase determination enables the determination of crystal structures using X-ray diffraction alone without the use of model structures.

Why is it important?
It avoids the introduction of bias towards previously determined structures, in contrast to the widely used molecular replacement method
Perspectives
New algorithms are presented that extend experimental phasing to lower resolution and weaker deffraction data
