The Fourier Duck
If a segment of data is missing, features perpendicular to that
segment will be blurred.
Crystallographic Interpretation:
Helices parallel to the missing data axis will become cylinders. Beta
sheets parallel may merge into a flat blob. Beta sheets perpendicular
to the missing data may be very weak. You could get into a lot of
trouble with anisotropic temperature factors in this case.
Try not to omit any data. Collect it and use it.
