Extended Data Figure 8: The continuous pattern is consistent with diffraction from a rigid object in crystallographic orientations.
From: Macromolecular diffractive imaging using imperfect crystals
a, When the continuous diffraction intensities are substituted for intensities averaged over all orientations (that is, constant on surfaces of constant q), iterative phasing using the support constraint of Fig. 3d fails, as indicated by this plot of the FSC as a function of resolution for solutions (green) obtained from two independent phasing trials. The blue curve is the same FSC shown in Fig. 3e for comparison. The iterations never converged, so a phase retrieval transfer function for the control could not be generated. b, Plot of the cross correlation (CC) between the measured diffraction and that calculated from the determined electron density of a dimer, symmetrized by the four crystallographic orientations.
