The benefit of combining scans is demonstrated by an improvement in the quality of the isomorphous difference Patterson maps used to detect the positions of heavy atoms in a uranyl derivative of PPE.powder diffractionprotein crystallographyradiation damagesynchrotron radiationExploiting X-ray induced anisotropic lattice changes to improve intensity extraction in protein powder diffraction: Application to heavy atom detectiontext::journal::journal article::research article
