Hi Graeme,

That's interesting. When I looked at this (and I would say I looked
reasonably carefully) I found it only made a difference in the scaling
- integrating across the whole area was fine. However, I would expect
to see a difference, and likely an improvement, in scaling only the
data you want. It would also give you sensible merging statistics
which you'll probably want when you come to publish or deposit.

I've seen low-resolution datasets where the resolution cutoff had a fairly significant impact on integration - usually in cell or orientation refinement. This seemed to make sense, as trying to use large numbers of spots that weren't really there (and so had essentially undetermined positions) tended to lead to instabilities in refinement.

What resolution ranges were you looking at?

Abd Ghani: if you'd like to rerun the processing at Diamond to a
chosen resolution limit I will be happy to send some instructions.
That's probably a good idea.

Best wishes,

Graeme

Dear Abd Ghani,

The method described by Graeme is how the resolution can be delimited
artificially.
If you want to get the best from your data, determine the resolution
limit of your data e.g. with pointless (I/sigI > 2.0 is a good marker)
and reprocess the data to that limit. If you integrate the whole
detector area and the outer parts contain only noise, the noise has a
negative effect on the real data.

... presuming of course the automated software got this resolution limit right.

If for whatever reason you would like to cut the limit mtzutils will
do this nicely:

mtzutils hklin blah_free.mtz hklout blah_lower.mtz << eof
resolution 1.8
eof

(say) - I am sure there are other ways within the suite to do this.

Best wishes,

Graeme

Qs

1) Why do you want to limit your data?

Most applications allow you to only use a specified sub-set - see GUI tasks
for "resolution limits".

In general you may want to run moleculer replacement or exptl phasing at a
limited resolution, but for refinenement or phase extension it is good to
use the whole range..

hello everyone,

I am new in this bulletin board. I would like to know on how to cut my
resolution in my datasets that have been processed/produced in diamond light
source. In my processed directory, I found there are 3 files (free.mtz,
scaled.sca and unmerged.sca). May I know which one can be used to cut my
data that was diffracted to 1.5A? Cheers
