All Single isomorphous replacement with anomalous scattering uses two datasets that are isomorphous while using the anomalous signal in one (here scattering and dispersion are synonymous?). How does SIRAS use the anomalous scattering signal that's different than a single wavelength anomalous dispersion ? How does an anomalous difference patterson (SAD) differ from an isomorphous difference patterson with anomalous scattering (presumably utilizing a native crystal)? Can a dataset that was not resolved by MAD/SAD be resolved by MIRAS/ SIRAS provided a good native dataset is available (Does MIRAS/SIRAS offer more phasing power than a typical SAD dataset?) Any input would be appreciated!
