摘要: Considering the pivotal role of single-wavelength anomalous diffraction (SAD) in macromolecular crystallography, our objective was to introduce {DSAS}, a novel program designed for efficient anomalous scattering substructure determination. DSAS stands out with its core components: a modified phase-retrieval algorithm and automated parameter tuning. The software boasts an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI), facilitating seamless input of essential data and real-time monitoring. Extensive testing on DSAS has involved diverse datasets, encompassing proteins, nucleic acids, and various anomalous scatters such as sulfur (S), selenium (Se), metals, and halogens. The results confirm {DSAS}'s exceptional performance in accurately determining heavy atom positions, making it a highly effective tool in the field.
