You would do better to go back to the unscaled data, and feed the unmerged intensities from both datasets into the SAD phasing program. Let it do the scaling jointly. Better yet would have been to collect the data in smaller wedges using "inverse beam mode". -- Ethan A Merritt Biomolecular Structure Center University of Washington, Seattle 98195-7742
