I know CCP4 programs best, but you need to find out
a) The correlation between the different wavelength anom diffs
b) the agreement between the MAD1 and MAD2 data sets. Are they isomorphous?
I find this by converting each *.sca file to an MTZ file * See GUI -
Data processing) with a sensible column label. eg MAD1_pk MAD1_rm
MAD2_pk etc

Then go to the Experimental phasing modue and first combine the files
into one, then run scalit to analyse the data sets.


If you processed the data with SCALA it gives you the correlation
between anom diffs.

If you use the SHELXC/D/E GUI for a MAD set it too gives you that
correlation?

Do you have the latest CCP4 and GUI installed?
Run the SHELX suite and see what the graphs look like.

You dont say whether you expect MAD1 and MAD2 to contain the same anom
scatters?

Anyway lets start with these checks then go on from there..
