Dear Shivesh Below I've tried to give you some broad ideas about where to look / read and some packages / approaches to try.
For a start there is a very comprehensive tutorial on the ccp4 site together with the experiemental phasing roadmaps. http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/dist/examples/tutorial/html/heavy-tutorial-mad.html which goes through the process step by step. For indexing and processing images, you are probably using MOSFLM or HKL2000?, both of which have excellent manuals that help with troubleshooting. At this stage you need to pick the appropriate bravais lattice then you need to refine and integrate. Once you have integrated (run in ccp4 for MOSFLM), then you need to scale the data using, for example, SCALA. Have a look at the following tutorial for running scala. http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/courses/ECM2004/runningscala.pdf Don't forget to seperate anomolous pairs when running scala!!!! Here, if relevant for your bravais lattice, you can also start to look at systematic absences to try to assign / narrow down the options for your space group. Remember, if your space group is incorrect, then (even though you may have a derivative) you won't be able to solve your structure. Thus if there are ambiguities, you need to systemically try out the options. Once you have scaled your data you may merge etc (see tutorial) using CAD and SCALEIT and start looking at some Anomalous Difference Patterson Maps to identify Heavy atom sites. see http://www.doe-mbi.ucla.edu/~sawaya/tutorials/Phasing/anopat.html Also, have a look at using SHARP/autoSHARP http://www.globalphasing.com/sharp/manual/index.html or SOLVE/RESOLVE http://www.solve.lanl.gov/ to analyse your data. These are both excellent packages for processing MAD / SAD datasets and calculating heavy atom positions / phases. For SHARP / autoSHARP you can supply the individual unmerged mtz's. SHARP will also alert you in a good humoured fashion to any deficiencies in your data and will try to pick the best approach (for e.g. it may try SAD depending on your data quality etc). autoSHARP will also run solvent flattening, give you final flattened maps readable in coot (which you should inspect to see if you can see features such as helices / strands etc). autoSHARP will even input your data into ARP/wARP, and if you are really fortunate you might even come in in the morning (watching ARP chain tracing can be rather addictive so its really best to go home!) and find that ARP has done a good job at a preliminary model or give you a nice starting point for manual building! Also for lower resolution and where you can clearly see features in the map for preliminary chain tracing try using Bucanneer. Hope this helps, good luck and above all have fun!
