Abstract

Xenon gas can be used as a heavy atom for determining phases in a protein. We demonstrate that an interpretable electron density map can be obtained for sperm whale metmyoglobin from a single xenon derivative using iterative single isomorphous replacement with the anomalous scattering method.
