Several different methods of using multi-wavelength anomalous scattering data are described and illustrated by application to the solution of the known protein structure, core streptavidin, for which data at three wavelengths were available. Three of the methods depend on the calculation of Patterson-like functions for which the Fourier coefficients involve combinations of the anomalous structure amplitudes from either two or three wavelengths. Each of these maps should show either vectors…

Direct way to anomalous scatterers
Abstract The first step in solving macromolecular crystal structures by multi- or single-wavelength anomalous diffraction methods is the location of the anomalous scatterers. This can be done by…
Automatic solution of heavy-atom substructures.
Direct methods beyond small‐molecule crystallography
The development of direct methods outside their traditional field began since the middle 1960s. New applications were explored gradually in four directions. They are the transition of: (i) from…
Structural crystallography and direct methods—from rock salt to proteins
The earliest crystal structures solved using x-ray diffraction were very simple, with just a small number of distinct atoms to locate. In the late 1940s the first steps were taken in the development…
Substructure determination in isomorphous replacement and anomalous diffraction experiments.
TLDR
An overview of commonly used methods for substructure determination is given, including estimation of substructure structure factors, Patterson methods, direct methods, dual-space recycling procedures, and methods for Substructure refinement and completion.
The high‐resolution crystal structure of the molybdate‐dependent transcriptional regulator (ModE) from Escherichia coli: a novel combination of domain folds
TLDR
Modelling of ModE interacting with DNA suggests that a large distortion of DNA is not necessary for complex formation, which suggests a role for the C‐terminal domain in the formation of the ModE–protein–DNA complexes necessary to regulate transcription.
A duplicated fold is the structural basis for polynucleotide phosphorylase catalytic activity, processivity, and regulation.
