title: An approach to multi-copy search in molecular replacement.
abstract: The molecular-replacement method has been extended to a simultaneous search for multiple copies of the macromolecule in the unit cell. The central point of this approach is the construction of a multi-copy search model from the properly oriented monomers using a special translation function. The multi-copy search method has been implemented in the program MOLREP and successfully tested using experimental data.
