These are excellent questions. There are probably no easy answers. The situation with flexible loops is that the peptide chain adapts multiple (>=3) conformations here and we traditional crystallographers are trying to fit one model into the density that is the result of multiple confirmations. Th

Even today, we still try to soak existing native protein crystals with heavy atoms at the same time while SeMet substituted protein is prepared. Nearly half of the times, we are able to solve the structure with HA (always SIRAS) before we have the SeMet protein. A recent example: Structure. 200

Xe is also an excellent anomalous scatterer at Cu Ka wavelength. It is particularly good for SIRAS phasing since Xe derivative is usually highly isomorphous to the native crystals. Hong _ Hong Zhang, Ph.D. Department of Biochemistry University of Texas Southwestern Medical
