The CCP4 FFT program does the 90-degree rotation automatically if you use "DANO=" as the column assignment. The rotation is because anomalous difference arise from scattering that is 90 degrees out of phase with "normal" electrons.

Could anyone remind me how to calculate anomalous  difference Fourier maps 
using model-calculated phases? I was doing it by
(1) calculating PHcalc from a pdb file using Sfall, then
(2) merging PHcalc with Dano of experimental SFs, then
(3) calculating a map with Dano and PHcalc using FFT program of CCP4.

Now, I've read Z. Dauter's et all paper 
http://mcl1.ncifcrf.gov/dauter_pubs/175.pdf, and it said that their anomalous 
maps were calculated using (delF, PHcalc-90degrees). Why did they use  -90 
degrees?  How does it relay to a (delF, phcalc) map?

Thank you for an advice.
