[Boaz Shaanan]

Just wondering: what's the justification for this exercise? Aren't the two lattices sampling the molecular transform differently even though there is a transformation relating them? Wouldn't it be more correct to select a different R free set for the p21 cell? Boaz -------- הודעה מקורית -------- מאת "Randy J.

I can't remember right now but maybe the DCELL command in cad might fix it.  Randy Read ---- Randy J.

The purpose is to obtain consistent R-free flags based on a structure already refined in C2221 for a related data set that I suspect is pseudo-C2221 but "real" P21. Primitive cell dimensions are: 37.6 126.1 40.61 89.99 117.6 90.01,  C-centered: 37.6 71.99 126.1 90 89.99 90.01 pointless provides the following matrix: <pointless> Reindex operator from input cell to lattice cell: [h,h+2l,-k]    h'   = ( h k l ) (       1       1       0 )                     (       0       0      -1 )                     (       0       2       0 ) </pointless> In sftools, I loaded the C2221 data set and did sftools$ reindex matrix 1 0 0 0 0 -1 -.5 .5 0 with the transposed (to account for the presumably inverted order of factors in the program?) inverse matrix of the one listed above with the aim of restoring the primitive asymmetric unit. I was encouraged seeing sftools report new cell dimensions matching the expected primitive cell. Then I did sftools$ expand 4 I expected now to have a "workable" P21 version of my C2221 data set, but molecular replacement (MOLREP) with my C2221 model failed to place even a single copy of the model. Thus, I must have misused sftools by issuing commands that were either wrong or in the wrong order or my application of linear algebra was mistaken. Any ideas out there?
