In the following Rapid Communication, we present an estimation of the singl
e spin asymmetry in deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) which directly
allows one to test predictions of the ratio of the imaginary part of the a
mplitude in DIS to DVCS, as well as access the skewed parton distributions
at small x in the DGLAP region. We find it to be large for the DESY HERA ki
nematics to be accessible in forthcoming runs with polarized electrons. [S0
