Asymmetry in serial femtosecond crystallography data
Abstract: Serial crystallography is an increasingly important approach to protein crystallography that exploits both X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) and synchrotron radiation. Serial crystallography recovers complete X-ray diffraction data by processing and merging diffraction images from thousands of randomly oriented non-uniform microcrystals, of which all observations are partial Bragg reflections. Random fluctuations in the XFEL pulse energy spectrum, variations in the size and shape of microcrystals, integrating o…

“…As a consequence, many of the predicted reflections will not contain any photons, and the process of integration simply produces noise, which has a Gaussian distribution rather than an exponential one. A recent paper (Sharma et al, 2017) shows this explicitly. In the Ha14 approach, we look at the distribution of the quantity I/' c (I) over all measurements on the image.…”

“…However, when considering an SFX dataset in its entirety, duplicate measurements of a given Miller index form a skewed distribution peaking near zero, resulting from the many partial observations of the rocking curve tails that are low-photon count and contribute mostly noise, making it difficult to derive an 'average' intensity value that accurately represents |F h | 2 ; see especially Figs. 1 and 5 in the work by Sharma et al (2017) and Fig. 8 in the work by Kroon-Batenburg et al (2015).…”

“…Although only a full integration into a crystallographic software package can determine the situations under which a practical benefit can be obtained from using the outlined approach, the tests here indicate that significant improvements are possible. Furthermore, the ease with which the proposed quadrature method can be adapted to a different of choice of error model is a large benefit over existing approximation methods, making it for instance possible to use experiment-specific noise models in refinement and phasing targets (Sharma et al, 2017).…”
