The known 11-fold symmetry meant that the heavy atoms had to be in a circle - molecular replacement with circles of different radii did the trick. Antson et al. Nature, Vol. 374 (1995), pp. 693-700. You simply need to use the DANO field of the mtz instead of the intensities if using anomalous data. I have found the known Se substructure by molecular replacement this way as a proof-of-principle (after finding the substructure with shelxd). Whether molecular replacement of the substructure is in general a useful thing to do is another question, modern software is extremely good at locating heavy atom sites.
