Hello Devbrat, your project is difficult and there is no magic bullet to solve its problems. Your approach is good because it always pays off to process the data carefully. In this respect, let me make a few comments. 1) you don't say why you call the diffraction patterns "multi-lattice". What exactly do you mean by that? Non-merohedral twinning? How many lattices superimposed and visible on all frames? Can they be separately indexed by XDS (see https://wiki.uni-konstanz.de/xds/index.php/Indexing)? 2) "XDS processing" _is_ integrating; what AIMLESS does is called scaling. 3) what do you mean by "monomer NCS"? NCS implies two or more copies of the same molecule in the asymmetric unit. These copies often form dimers, trimers, tetramers, ... by making more-or-less strong and specific interactions. 4) you've advanced amazingly far and it sounds to me that with a combination of your refined MR model with the SAD data you should be able to improve your solution. Look up the MR-SAD pipeline (for SAD after MR and for model rebuilding using anomalous data) of Crank2.
If you want me to take a look at your raw data, upload the best datasets (native and SeMet) to a cloud service and send me the link. Good luck, Kay On Tue, 14 Nov 2023 21:25:30 +0530, Devbrat Kumar <devformed...@gmail.com> wrote: >Hello everyone, > >The issue with the crystal is its multi-lattice nature; even the truncated >protein, which has been crystallized, exhibits multi-lattice >characteristics (detectable only after XRD). > >I have multiple native and selenium datasets with similar unit cell >parameters.
