Table 2. The constraint ratio for ab initio phase retrieval from symmetry summed diffraction (Inline graphic), Bragg reflections (Inline graphic) and from their sum (Inline graphic).

The lower limit corresponds to cases where there is no solvent content, the rigid-unit support is centrosymmetric and convex, the Bragg reflections are point like and there are no known local pseudo-symmetries in the crystal or other prior constraints. In the last column we also list the estimated percentage of the total number of PDB entries for that space group.
