Abstract  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.
