this cant be true,
in the idea case (not Rmerge 15%, then again one can apply a resolution
cutoff, perhaps, while this sounds like a very desperate case) the
answer must be yes. didnt do the calculation right now (but it
_should_ back this up)
we for instance have solved a structure long time ago
-- and this probably wasnt on the limit (well it was at the time but
not anymore), 365 res x 8 in AU and 80 Se.
at least looking at the SnB success list ("very" old list )
http://www.hwi.buffalo.edu/SnB/SnBSuccesses.htm
there are plenty of others.

and the answer as Jim says is no.

Well, what do you expect the anomalous signal contributed from your 45
seleniums in a perfect world to be when the asymmetric unit contains
1300
aa? Do you think a dataset with Rmerge of ~15% is good enough to
detect a
signal of even 2%? (Note: I did not do the calculation, so I just
made up
the number of 2%.)

Hello CCP4bb members,
I have been trying to obtain phases for a protein which contain
~1300aa.
We
have obtained native data to a resolution of 3.3A (Space group I222
or
I212121). But we are having tough time phasing it.
