To utilize the sulfur anomalous diffraction, the data sets were collected using the loop-less data collection method with chromium Kα X-rays of 2.29Å. Three phasing methods, MLPHARE, SHARP, and OASIS-2004, were tested in combination with the DM or SOLOMON density modification method. The results showed that the solvent contents are still an important factor for phasing with the S-SAD method, even when longer wavelength Cr Kα radiation is used. Among the three procedures, the improved direct phasing of OASIS-2004 with its implemented fragment feedback to the direct-method probability calculation gave the best results in determining the initial phases. For all five proteins, almost the entire models could be built automatically.International Union of CrystallographyJournal Articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/2115/8533https://eprints.lib.hokudai.ac.jp/dspace/bitstream/2115/8533/1/OASIS-2004.pdf09074449Acta Crystallographica section D6111153315402005-11enginfo:pmid/16239732info:doi/10.1107/S0907444905028416Copyright © International Union of Crystallographyauthor
