Re: [ccp4bb] Higher Rmerge at lower resolution

Hi Veronica, as others have said, at RT the radicals travel much further than at cryo temperature, so your lateral shifts are probably not sufficient. But it is not clear to me that radiation damage is to blame at all. To me it sounds like you might have to mask your beamstop better, or you are

Dear Gerard, Eleanor et al., In the graphs of Rmeas vs. batch number (and I or I/sigma vs. batch number), everything looks roughly constant, which made me think that significant radiation damage was not the issue--but are you saying that radiation damage might also (or instead) produce a smiley in

Dear Veronica, At first glance, it looks as if you have a textbook example of progressive radiation damage, i.e. the structure is changing between the start and the end of your experiment, and the scaling gets skewed towards finding a best compromise between all the measurements at medium (ra

That is a fantastically low Rmerge ! What are the actual numbers? You might expectslightly higher Rmerge for stronger reflections? i.e. at low resin.. Eleanor On 27 February 2015 at 20:40, Veronica Pillar wrote: > Hi all, > > I have a data set from a large room-temperature lysozyme crystal > con

2015-02-27 Thread Veronica Pillar
Hi all, I have a data set from a large room-temperature lysozyme crystal consisting of 6 90-degree sweeps, each taken from a fresh spot on the crystal. When I scale & merge the first sweep by itself, the R[meas/merge] vs. resolution trace as reported by aimless looks fairly normal (lowest values i
