I would use SAD data directly if you have SAD data set. It just means that the program uses observed F+ and F- directly in refinement. This part of the program has been developed by Leiden group so you can direct your questions to them: "Navraj S.

No. It is related with sigmas of observations and it is desirable to use them. Although there are some question marks how sigmas are estimated, they seemed to be better than nothing. regards Garib > > Thanks very much for your help. > > Best wishes, > > Q.
