I very much agree with Holton. I also find the following to be a simple and very helpful argument in the discussion (it was given to me by Morten Kjeldgaard): Your model should reproduce your weak data by weak Fc's - therefore you need your weak reflections in the refinement I personally like

Hi Weijun and all, Anyone tried the Stratagene's ArcticExpress^(TM) Competent Cells for expression of proteins at low temperature (13 degree). The company claims that the cells encode chaperonins Cpn60 and Cpn10 and they can enhance the protein folding and solubility. Hongmin Dear All, I

Hi Dima, Can anyone comment on availability of Archaea expression systems? Based on available structures, it would appear that their chaperons are much more similar to eukaryotic one than anything present in eubacteria. For a long time, I've been puzzling over why there is still no

Hello, I posted a message about this a month ago and thanks to everyone for their responses. At the time, I did not fully appreciate the problem I was dealing with so this time my question is much more specific. I would very much appreciate your help as this structure is turning out to

Peter, I had a similar case, but the centering was pseudo-I in the monoclinic system (Oksanen et al. (2006) Acta Cryst. D62 1369-1374). I don't think you need to delete any reflections for MR; you should have higher than normal correlation coefficients as well as R-values. If you see

Dear Peter, It seems to me that you are solving an incommensurately modulated structure, since the pseudo-translation vector t = 0a + 0.47b + 0.5c having the b component equal to 0.47 and not exactly 0.5. There should be satellite reflections which are NOT on nodes of the reciprocal lattice

Dear Prof. Fan, I do not think that this is a neccesarely an incommensurable structure. A lot of structures have translational NCS close to a translational that would make the space group higher and/or the primitive cell smaller. If one has C2221 and one destroys the centring operation
