There are three general approaches to molecular replacement: 1. rotation-translation algorithms: these divide the 6-dimensional problem of placing a replacement model in the ASU into two sequential 3-parameter searches, which, if it works, converges more quickly than a 6-dimensional sear

Hi Lisa, I would start with learning AMoRe. It is relatively simple, runs fast and uses little memory, so you can experiment easily with lots of parameters. It is also relatively easy to modify the parameters, radii etc. and get a feel for which ones to use. If after a few days or weeks you und
