Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Solve crystal structures using direct, Patterson, and dual-space methods efficiently.
- Refine complex models by managing twinning, disorder, ADPs, and hydrogen atoms.
- Optimise data collection through crystal selection, strategy planning, and quality checks.
- Assign space groups by indexing cells, checking absences, and handling pseudosymmetry.
- Validate structures with PLATON/checkCIF and produce publication-ready CIF files.
