Hi Carsten,

As far as I know, you cannot seed hyss with sites.
If you have SAD data, try the autosol wizard which uses Phaser.
Phaser has a good LLG map algorithm for finding addtional sites.

The wizards use the defaults for phase extension in resolve. If you
want to fine-tune the resolution steps you can say,
resolve_command_list=" 's_step 0.05 ' "
Note the 2 sets of quotation marks....
This will use steps of 0.05 A for phase extension
(type
phenix.autobuild --help resolve_command_list
for documentation of this command)

Best is the R-factor at the end of density modification. If it's
around 0.30 you are doing well. 0.4 is bad, 0.25 is great.
All the best,
