Confined structures: basic crystallographic aspects.
The concept of a confined structure is introduced. The statistical properties of the structure factors for such structures are derived and the main features of the Patterson function are described. It is shown that the structure-factor distributions for the confined structures coincide with those derived for the rational index reflections of ordinary structures. Algorithms potentially useful for protein crystal structure solution are identified and checked via experimental applications.
