[phenixbb] Se SAD data to include Sulphurs?

Hi Partha,
You can use phaser to choose what is sulfur and what is selenium. Try
something like this:
phenix.autosol 3 Se data=sad.sca seq_file=seq.dat \
sites_file=shelx.pdb \
mad_ha_add_list="S" \
mad_ha_add_f_prime_list="0.3" \
mad_ha_add_f_double_prime_list="0.3"
Phaser will first locate Se atoms (and add any to your shelx list if
appropriate), then it will look for S atoms as well.
All the best,
Tom T
