Popis:	We present Frequency Marching, FM, an algorithm that refines three-dimensional electron density distributions from solution X-ray scattering data in both the small- and wide-angle regimes. This algorithm is based on a series of optimization steps, marching along the frequency (reciprocal) space and refining detailed periodic structures with the corresponding real-space resolution. Buffer subtraction and excluded volumes, key factors in extracting the signatures of the biomolecule of interest from the sample, are accounted for using implicit density models. We provide the numerical and analytical basis of the FM algorithm. We demonstrate this technique by application to structured and unstructured nucleic acid systems, where higher resolution features are carved out of low resolution reconstructions as the algorithm marches into wider angles.
