Hello Tiantian since there don't seem to be any replies to your message, I can suggest looking at the following points: 1) What is the unit cell and space group? Is there any scope for misindexing or twinning problems? 2) You have several heavy atom datasets, so why do you want to solve it with SAD? There may be isomorphous signal there which should be stronger. 3) Do you have the figures of merit and phasing power for the individual derivatives? Also, do the sites have good occupancies after refinement? 4) Are the derivatives all indexed consistently and are the sites of the different derivatives all on a common hand and origin? This is handled correctly by solve/resolve on the phenix side of things, and I guess the Crank pipeline, but we used to do it by cross-phased Fouriers. That's all that springs to mind for now. Hope some of it helps. Jon.C.

It would be great if anyone can give me some suggestions.
