Experimental methods for phase determination /MIR,MAD,SAD/ in crystallography of biological macromolecules
Brynda, Jiří
Importance of unbiased phases in post genomic era is emphasized. Article describes the classical methods of phase determination: 1) Multiple Isomorphous replacement, heavy-atom derivative (MIR) 2) Multiple Anomalous Dispersion (MAD) Phasing 3) Single Anomalous Dispersion (SAD) Phasing The better your initial, experimental map is, the more model you will be able to build confidently into this unbiased map before proceeding to phase combination. MAD phases result from perfectly isomorphous data, and do not deteriorate at low resolution as do MIR phases. MIR phases, on the other hand, provide superior phasing power at low resolution resulting in better connectivity. Not surprising, the best maps are either MAD or combined MIR-MAD maps.
