Hi, If your Hg dataset is not isomorphous with the SeMet you can cut out some density and use cross-crystal averaging (molecular replacement using electron density) to transfer the Hg phases to the Se dataset. You can then try using an anomalous difference fourier map to find more or weaker Se

Dear William, In a similar circumstance, we cut out the density from one crystal, and used that to solve the structures of non-isomorphous crystals by molecular replacement. At this point, we had an envelope (needed to cut out the density), initial maps, and operators to place one copy of the

Dear all, I am trying to phase a largish novel structure of 130 kDa with P21 (sometimes P222) space group. So far I have collected a few 3.5ish-Å 3-wavelength MAD datasets from SeMet derivatives as well as an anisomorphous 6Å Hg peak dataset (with detectable anomalous signal). As my crystal is
