CCP4bb navigationCCP4bb <-- 2007 <-- April 2007 <-- 20 April 2007Subject: Re: recommendation for heavy atoms used in lithium sulfate and ammonium sulfate From: artem {- at -} XTALS {- dot -} ORG artem {- at -} XTALS {- dot -} ORG Date: 2007-04-20 If you have enough crystals to experiment with, just do a normal series of heavy atom derivatives, starting with good old favorites such as mercury and platinum. As an added touch of class you can try tungstate - it's like sulphate, but has fat W so it can be used probably just like a halide soak... Let me know if you need more detailed help :) Artem > Dear all, > > Could any one recommend some heavy atoms used for crystals grown in 0.1M > tri-sodium citrate pH 5.6, 1M Lithium sulfate and 0.5M ammonium sulfate?
