I am experimenting with GLRF and am having trouble calculating the locked self rotation function for a protein of known structure. The protein has a 3 fold NCS axis that is not parallel to a crystallographic axis. I'm at the step of specifying the local symmetry elements for the locked self rotation function.

I guess the goal here is to search for 'one general rotation which will bring the non crystallographic symmetry point group in a "standard" orientation. What does this mean? How do I write the LOCSymmetry instruction for the input file?

My s.g. is P 21 21 21 and the following solutions are found for the normal self rotation function.



    Fine searches around peaks with the slow rotation function --

          The large-term cut-off is  1.50

The goal of all this is to use GLRF to explore NCS in cases where structures are not known and molecular replacement
