Hi Shya,

 I did wavelength scan, got a good signal for Se and used appropriate wavelengths for data collection and also used experimental f' and f'' values for phasing. I think the reasons SAD or MAD for SeMet data is not working are (i) low resolution: 3.7 for SeMet (Anomalous data is up to 4.8A) (ii) I should have mentioned this earlier: 3 out of 6 Se are very close to N-terminus, possible they are disordered. Unit cell is also some what big..100, 120 and 320A; F222 space group.

Hi AK,
Did you do a wavelength scan when you collected the SE dataset you
need to put the values of f' and f'' from your wavelength scan in
order to locate the heavy atom sites, 6 methionine should be enough to
phase your molecule.
