Dear bb, I am trying to figure out SRF for P1 space group dataset using Molrep. The programme indicates the presence of pseudotranlation however the peaks heights are confusing me... The output of MOLREP is follows:

Is there really a three pseudotranslationally related molecules ? my asymmetric unit have 12 molecules (50% solvent content) and biochemically data indicates either hexameric or tetrameric assembly. 2. What is the best way to figure out the pseudotranslation ? 3. When I do SRF for data containing PST, should I expect SRF for all molecules or for 1 molecule. I understand that orientation of PST related molecules should be same. Thanks in advance. Cheers Dan
