The relationship between the Bijvoet differences ΔF± and the difference of two phases, that of the total scattering vector φT and of the anomalous scatterers vector φA. The theoretically expected sinusoidal dependence, ΔF± ≃ sin(φT − φA), is clearly reproduced for glucose isomerase (a) with almost uniform phase distribution, whereas for ferredoxin (b) the total protein phase tends to be closer to the anomalous phase. Glucose isomerase has one anomalous Mn atom in 388 residues and ferredoxin has eight anomalously scattering Fe atoms in 55 residues; therefore, the partial structure probability has a much larger effect in the case of ferredoxin than in glucose isomerase.
