The phase problem is reduced to a sign problem once the anomalous-scatterer or the replacing-heavy-atom sites are located. OASIS adopts the CCP4 format [Collaborative Computational Project, Number 4 (1994). Acta Cryst. D50, 760-763]. It applies a direct-method procedure to break the phase ambiguity intrinsic to one-wavelength anomalous scattering (OAS) or single isomorphous replacement (SIR) data.
