Plug the coordinates (x,y,z) and x+tx, Y+ty, z+tz) into the SF equation.
If the translation component along c is 0.5 say, then all the 00l reflections for l=2n+1 will be absent.

Hi.

Non-crystallographic symmetry (NCS) doesn't apply to the entire crystal, so how can it give rise to systematic absences? I know it can give rise to systematically weak classes of reflections, but they aren't entirely absent.

One of the many facilities in pointless is to search for absences and provide a list of likely spacegroup choices based on the results. It includes adjustments for neighbouring spots to address one of Eleanor's concerns. NCS can cause reflections to be systematically absent too.

The program can be found on the ccp4 prerelease pages or on the pointless ftp site.

Cheers,

Dear All:

We have a crystl with P4222 sg.
All statistics look fine.
However, there is a system absense in l axis.
Any body have experiences on that?
Any suggestions would be high appreciated.

jaishin

can you give more details, eg all reflections along the particular axis.. Things like ice rings or overlapping intensity from a next neighbour getting integrated inapropriately can cause anomalies..
