It looks unrefinable without a huge number of geometrical restraints. Just like 
with synchrotron powder data. Moreover, it looks unsolvable from any powder
instrument, unless you have a lot of chance (you know already the molecular 
formula), or unless it is a very very very small protein. To my knowledge,
only one protein structure was "solved" from powder data up to now, because
it obviously derived (produced by hand-crushing) from a previously known 
other protein.

Anyway, I would welcome a synchrotron in my lab.

Best,
