Dear James, I agree with your chronology of the first full new protein structures by SR MAD. The 1975 two wavelength Hoppe and Jakubowksi study of erythrocruorin with Ni and Co Kalpha Xray tubes is a classic piece of work of in effect MAD phasing . See the IUCr Anomalous Scattering Conference

The first report of shooting a protein crystal at a synchrotron (I think) was in 1976: http://www.pnas.org/content/73/1/128.full.pdf that was rubredoxin The first PDB file that contains a SYNCHROTRON=Y entry is 1tld (trypsin), which was deposited in 1989:

Thank you James, you should write a History book about the modern x-ray times. Or better make one of those movies you are famous for. Jürgen On Mar 16, 2013, at 10:46 AM, James Holton wrote: The first report of shooting a protein crystal at a synchrotron (I think) was in 1976:

Hi Not sure if this is strictly speaking the first protein *solved* on a synchrotron, but I think this is the first report of shooting protein crystals at a synchrotron in the widely available literature - http://www.pnas.org/content/73/1/128.full.pdf+html Phillips J C,

Did anyone see this prescient line in the PNAS paper? Seems that the MAD concept was suggested way back then... JPK While the enhancement of anomalous scattering has not yet been examined in detail, it is in principle possible to use data collected at three wavelengths (15) to completely solve

Nothing prescient about that. The MAD concept was first proposed by Herzberg and Lau in 1967, much before sycnhrotrons were used for protein crystallography. Herzenberg, A. Lau, H. S. M. (1967) Acta. Crystallogr. 22, 24-28. http://scripts.iucr.org/cgi-bin/paper?S0365110X6740 The PNAS
