=== Towards better completeness: using the first two frames ===
We might want better (anomalous) completeness than what is given by only the very first frame of each dataset. To this end, we change in XDS.INP :
DATA_RANGE=1 2
and in XSCALE.INP we insert
NBATCH=2
after each INPUT_FILE line. The reason for this is that by default, XSCALE establishes scalefactors every DELPHI (default: 5) degrees, but here we want scalefactors for every frame, because the radiation damage is so strong. This gives:

showing that the anomalous completeness, and even the quality of the anomalous signal, can indeed be increased. I doubt, however, that going to three or more frames would improve things even more.
=== Why this is difficult to solve with SAD phasing ===
In the original publication ("Structural evidence for a possible role of reversible disulphide bridge formation in the elasticity of the muscle protein titin" Mayans, O., Wuerges, J., Canela, S., Gautel, M., Wilmanns, M. (2001) Structure 9: 331-340 ) we read:
"This crystal form contains two molecules in the asymmetric unit. They are related by a noncrystallographic two-fold axis, parallel to the crystallographic b axis, located at X = 0.25 and Z = 0.23. This arrangement results in a peak in the native Patterson map at U = 0.5, V = 0, W = 0.47 of peak height 26 σ (42% of the origin peak)."
Unfortunately this translates into a almost centrosymmetric arrangement of substructure sites (check with [http://cci.lbl.gov/cctbx/phase_o_phrenia.html]). Indeed, the original structure was solved using molecular replacement.
