Probably. Many others can be solved by molecular replacement, even with a very crude starting model. Recently we solved a 142 nucleotide ribozyme dimer, a novel structure with no useful NCS symmetry, with just a native data set, A-form helical fragments generated in coot, and an irritable, cantan

Alejandro, As others have said, the most likely explanation is the attenuation of the air scatter by the sample holder. There is no sharp edge to the shadow which indicates the source of scatter is along an extended path. Ed Berry pointed out that he didn't see spots in the shadow. This might be

Hello, It looks very much like coming from the plastic cap and the pin (of the CryoCap). I am basing this on the fact that you mention the CryoCap is opposite to beamstop. If you look closely at the shadow you can see the profile of the plastic (hemi-circle) with lighter shade where the pin would g
