Abstract One of the essential points of the direct-method single-wavelength anomalous diffraction (SAD) phasing for proteins is to express the bimodal SAD phase distribution by the sum of two Gaussian functions peaked respectively at $\varphi''_h+|\Delta\varphi_h|$ and $\varphi''_h-|\Delta\varphi_h|$. The probability for $\Delta\varphi$ being positive (P+) can be derived based on the Cochran distribution in direct methods. Hence the SAD phase ambiguity can be resolved by multiplying the Gaussian function peaked at $\varphi''_h+|\Delta\varphi_h|$ with P+ and multiplying the Gaussian function peaked at $\varphi''_h-|\Delta\varphi_h|$ with P- (=1-P+).The direct-method SAD phasing has been proved powerful in breaking SAD phase ambiguities, in particular when anomalous-scattering signals are weak.However, the approximation of bimodal phase distributions by the sum of two Gaussian functions introduces considerable errors. In this paper we show that a much better approximation can be achieved by replacing the two Gaussian functions with two von Mises distributions. Test results showed that this leads to significant improvement on the efficiency of direct-method SAD-phasing.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
