[phenixbb] MR-SAD, SAD

Mon Jan 26 00:40:34 PST 2015

HI!

George gave me an idea actually... I did SAD phasing with Co sites and with
AutoSol I got a partial model, that I then edited. However, since you were
suggesting the phases should be better when you combine those from the
model with the experimental ones I ran Phaser-EP in SAD-MR mode. I have
provided the model I edited after AutoSol, my HA sites, and the data, and I
got a better map than even just with AutoSol!!! I mean, when I submit it to
Resolve, after phaser. :-)

Is it a good solution if the FOM is 0.49 and LLG is 36449.63 after Phaser?

Sooo thanks a lot for the inspiration! (it's not so easy on Monday
mornings!!)

Best wishes,

Almudena.
