Abstract

Abstract : Amino‐acid residues are chosen to form globs and empirical formulas for residue‐based scattering factors have been developed. Abstract : A glob is defined as a group of atoms in the crystal which can be chosen in various ways. Globs themselves can be used as scattering elements in the theory of structure determination, just as atoms are used at present. In this paper, amino‐acid residues are chosen to form globs and empirical formulas for residue‐based scattering factors have been developed.
