Now this is one of Janet Smith's favourite tutorial examples. Take a look at
her 1991 COSB paper and you'll discover a simple formula for determining the
expected
signal from a given number of Se's:
@ARTICLE{Smi91,
Author="Smith, J.",
Title="Determination of Three-Dimensional Structure by Multiwavelength
Anomalous Diffraction",
Journal="Curr. Opinion Struct. Biol.",
Volume=1,
Pages="1002-1011",
Year=1991,
Note="C43+"}
Best wishes,
