==Thaumatin Br soak: structure solution from either 2-wavelength MAD, or from single wavelength SAD==
==Thaumatin Br soak: structure solution from either 2-wavelength MAD, or from single wavelength SAD==
Thaumatin is a sweet-tasting protein of 207 residues that crystallizes in P4<sub>1</sub>2<sub>1</sub>2 with a monomer in the asymmetric unit.


Prior to flash cooling in liquid nitrogen at 100 K the crystals were soaked for a few seconds in a solution containing 1 M sodium bromide and 25% (v/v) glycerol.

G. Sheldrick [[ccp4com:SHELX_C/D/E#critical_parameters|recommends]]: "For iodide soaks, a good rule of thumb is to start with a number of iodide sites equal to the number of amino-acids in the asymmetric unit divided by 15." Bromine should behave similarly, so we expect roughly 14 sites.

I decided to use 3.3 Å as a suitable cutoff for solving the substructure, and to let SHELXD search for 20 Br atoms (just a guess!). SHELXD then found a convincing solution:

The result of this is a model that only lacks residues 1, 82, 83, 207, and which has a "core RMS" (from coot's SSM superpose) of 0.14 Å against 1rqw (which is a 1.05 Å structure).

It couldn't be simpler than that. Thanks, Santosh!

== SAD: Inflection data alone ==
This is of course much more difficult, because the anomalous data are weaker (and as this is the second dataset collected from the crystal maybe there is already a little bit of radiation damage).
A lot of care was put into the XDS data reduction - many of the ideas that can be found in this wiki were employed to get as good data as possible.
The result is that the anomalous signal is useful - this is evident from the SHELXC statistics:

This time I tried to solve the substructure at 3.6 Å resolution, again 20 sites -

So there are indeed much less good trials:

The structure can be solved from here, with Arp/Warp and probably also with buccaneer/refmac.
=== automatic structure solution using Auto-Rickshaw (http://www.embl-hamburg.de/Auto-Rickshaw/) ===
In the same way as with the peak data, Auto-Rickshaw was started. Please see the [http://webapps.embl-hamburg.de/lresult/542521/LOG/viewlog/result.html Auto-Rickshaw logfile].
The structure could be solved but Arp/Warp had a difficult start - take a look at the [[1rqw_arp_warp_log|Arp/Warp logfile]]! The final model lacks residues 1, 85, 205, 206, 207 and the "core RMS" of SSM superpose, against 1rqw, is 0.15 Å (better than I would expect).
It should also be noted that the structure can ''not'' be solved when searching for 15 or 28 sites - rather, 20 appears to be the magic number.
Once again, great job, Santosh (and of course those people who wrote the programs that Auto-Rickshaw uses)!
