Well - this is pretty common, and really doesnt matter.
 I just let SHELXC/D give an "occupancy" to its anom scatterer solutions  and assume that the stronger one is Ca. But in fact it wont matter at all for the phasing, and IF the experiment works it is easy to sort out S from Ca in the final map.

Dear Faisal,

you could use Phenix to do an f’’ refinement against the data like described here:

Liu, Q., Liu, Q. & Hendrickson, W. A. (2013). Acta Cryst. D69, 1314-1332.


best regards,
