Phasing And Refinement For Dummies: No Book Required

Weak Anomalous Examples

We often encounter datasets that include weak experimental phases that we must depend on in order to solve our structures. The following two datasets are examples of Single-wavelength Anomalous Diffraction (SAD) phasing from a Se-Met derivatives. The anomalous signals are present, but weak, and attention must be given to successfully solve the phase problem.
