[ccp4bb] Detwinning, why not?

2016-10-11 Thread Gert Vriend
Many, many years ago I worked in Rossmann's lab. Some colleagues were detwinning a structure. Whatever they tried, the twin ration went from something near 50-50 to something near 95-5 without any improvement. I wrote software that would look at reflection files in search of systematic

Let me clarify: twin *refinement* is definitely the way to go. Detwinning data *prior* to structure solution, however, always seems to worsen things, whether for MR or experimental phasing. But it is hard to imagine how detwinning makes data worse than not, if we’ve modelled twinning

Dear Bernard et al., I thought that in twinned refinement, no detwinning was performed, but that twinning was somehow incorporated in the refinement targets. Of course, after refinement detwinning has to be done so that we human beings with limited innate detwinning faculties are able interpret

Normally, twinned refinement is the way to go. However, if the maps don’t become clearer and without twinned refinement the R/Rfrees are already 0.25/0.29, there might be some other problem. Here I would be more cautious. Herman Von: CCP4 bulletin board [mailto:CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK] Im

Search for: "experimental phasing with detwinned data" and you will find some hits. You need a low degree of twinning, and a strong sub-structure signal.. Re MR solutions - it is usually possible to solve the structure providing you get the space group right, but in my experience the maps are

Dear Jacob, I agree with Chris. In my experience for MR, twinning is just like having a space group with one extra 2-fold (or other twin operator) so MR is indeed largely immune to twinning. Also the maps, calculated with uncorrected data, often look surprisingly good, just having a higher

Dear Jacob, I'm not an expert on the topic, but from my experiences with twinning I can agree with you. I recently solved my second twinned structure by MR (twin fraction of 0.43, as estimated by Xtriage). Performing twin refinement in Refmac or phenix.refine dropped the R-factors, as expected,
