[phenixbb] Q. Phase extension

[Terwilliger, Thomas C]

Hi Nat,
I suggest that the phase extension plus the availability of experimental phases at low resolution is key here.  The poor model will get refined (yes, not very good phases there), combined with experimental phases (still a bit weak), but then extended gradually to high resolution (possibly greatly improving the phases), and then model-building is done.  I think it could work.
All the best,
Tom T
