Not sure I follow you completely.. You dont say what anom scatterer you expect, or what the wavelength is.
1) How did you find the anomalous peaks? If from an anomalous difference Fourier there will inevitably be noise. In practice when there are S to check this can be very helpful in deciding on noise levels. You can be pretty sure that SG and SD are indeed S, and if the wave length is appropriate, that they should show some anom. signal. One often finds the well defined S show up well. then there is a grey area wher they are down amongst noise but still appear. It often highlights how many MET are in alternate conformations.. If possible I like to use these as bench marks for P. But in my experience the P are often even weaker - maybe the ligand is not fully occupied, or the P temp. factors are higher?
