Minor correction: SHELX software are not part of CCP4 but if you have
them installed as part of your crystallograhic software, you can call
them from the CCP4 GUI.
You can obtain the SHELX suite free to academic labs from Ggeorge

The dataset is collected at 3 different wavelengths (peak, inflection and remote) using Se-Met as the scatterer. The crystals diffracted to resolution of 2 Angstrsoms and has a good anomalous signal.
