Molecular replacement--historical background.
A review is given of the mathematical procedures required for a molecular-replacement structure determination. These apply equally to the more frequently encountered situations where a known homologous structure can be used as a search model and to phase determination in the presence of non-crystallographic symmetry (NCS). In general, the former represents improper NCS between two different unit cells, whereas the latter occurs when there is proper NCS within one unit cell.
