This suggests that they were collected at a longer wavelength, or that radiation damage changed the cell parameters during the 20-minute break - usually it makes them longer (Ravelli ''et al.'' (2002), J. Synchrotron Rad. 9, 355-360), but this may be the exception to the rule! Maybe the crystal even was exposed to the beam during that time, in an attempt to try radiation-damage induced phasing (see e.g. Ravelli ''et al'' Structure 11 (2003), 217-220). | ||

This looks reasonable although the absolute value of CCall is so low that there is little hope that the structure can be solved with this amount of information.

== better phases from DAD (Double Anomalous Dispersion) == | |||
The reason why pseudo-SAD is described here first is that, historically, I did it first since I thought that the wavelength could not realistically be changed within 3 seconds, and I therefore thought that the headers were wrong and this would not actually be a two-wavelength experiment. Along these lines, I interpreted the correlation coefficient of 1.0 between the E1 and E2 first parts as indicating that no isomorphous difference exists. | |||
In a discussion with Gerard Bricogne and Clemens Vonrhein after the ACA2011 workshop it turned out that my theory, which claims that E1 and E2 are actually the same wavelength, is wrong. This was investigated by looking at the difference map (obtained using phenix.fobs_minus_fobs_map) of E1 and E2 (taking the first parts in each case) phased with the 1y13 model, which shows three strong (14-19 sigma) peaks. The fact that the 1-370 pieces merge so well seems to be a consequence of the fact that the anomalous signal of the two wavelengths is so similar, and the dispersive difference between the wavelengths does not significantly decrease the high correlation coefficient in data scaling. | |||
Thus even better phasing would be obtained by keeping the wavelengths separate and doing MAD (in fact DAD) - but zero-dose extrapolation could and should be done in the same way. I've therefore continued the analysis in [[1Y13-DAD]]. | |||
