Like the SAD case, there is also an ambiguity in single isomorphous replacement (SIR). (a) With the measured amplitudes of the native protein (FP) and heavy-atom derivative (FPH) amplitudes and the calculated heavy-atom contribution (FH), there are in general two possible solutions for the protein phase φP symmetrically placed around the heavy-atom phase φH. (b) The error treatment leads to the probability distribution of the protein phase. |
