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.

In principle, take a look what compounds you have in your HA box and afterwards check anomalous signal for example at http://skuld.bmsc.washington.edu/scatter/AS_form.html Best regards, Georg james09 pruza schrieb: > Dear All, > > I need some suggestions regarding the SAD phasing using home source. > What the the most commonly used HA for SAD phasing for Cu anode. > All suggestions are welcome. > Thanks. > > James -- Universität Tübingen Interfakultäres Institut für Biochemie Dr. Georg Zocher Hoppe-Seyler-Str. 4 72076 Tuebingen Germany Fon: +49(0)-7071-2973374 Mail: georg.zoc...@uni-tuebingen.de http://www.ifib.uni-tuebingen.de
