the powerpoint presentation handout_phasing.ppt
and distribute as handouts. Copy necessary files to the student's directory.

Have them determine phase graphically with compass. 2) We will check that the heavy atom site you solved can predict the position of all the Patterson peaks in the isomorphous difference Patterson map. Apply all the difference vector equations we saw from last week. 3) Calculate Best phases and figure of merit for this site. Use the isomorphous differences as well as anomalous differences. This much should be familiar to you. Just using Harker Constructions as seen in the anomalous scattering lecture last Friday. This would be an example of SIRAS phasing. However, we have to resolve the ambiguity of handedness of the electron density map. Remember, the coordinate xyz as well as -x,-y,-z are both consistent with the Patterson map. This ambiguity arises because Patterson map has an additional center of symmetry that the electron density map does not have. Only one of these choices is correct. We must test both choices. We can do this by looking at the map to see which has the features of a protein. Another way to determine the correct handedness is to perform a cross difference Fourier with a second derivative. With these phases calculated from one derivative, calculate a cross difference Fourier with the other derivative. Peaks in map will correspond to second derivative site. Notice the peak height. 4) Check the inverted hand with inverted space group. Peaks in map will correspond to noise. Check the peak height. 5)Choose the correct hand. This is important for handedness and for getting the two heavy atoms refered to the same origin. 6) Produce a combined phasing map which includes phasing information from both derivatives. This will have the best phases. 7) Perform density modification. 8) Observe map. 9) Record phasing statistics.
