[ccp4bb] Pseudo-merohedral twinning and Molecular replacement

Dear all, I find myself posed with a rather interesting if somewhat confusing problem. Two crystals grown from the same conditions, let's call them A and B.. A: Resolution 2.1A SpacegroupP4? Rmerge0.137 (0.324) Mean((I)/sd(I)) 41.0 (17.8) Completeness

Thanks very much for all the suggestions so far. While I am pursuing all the checks and balances for twinning here are the Wilson plots I forgot to attach before..I am not sure what is going on, especially in B ! best, Iain On Oct 25 2007, Iain Kerr wrote: Dear all, I find myself pose

Wilson plots are not very informative for the detection of twinning. The spikes you see in your Wilson plots, could be due to ise ring issues (both 3.89 and 2.24 A are at ice ring related d scapings.) The very large mean intensity in those resolution shells could be due to the fact that only str

Well - the wilson plots only indicate ice rings - they dont tell much about twinning, except that I would prob restrict the tests to exclude the suspect data. ( use resolution range low - to 3.5 for one, low - 2.4 for the other or some such..) The moments are the best indicators providing th

The cumulative intensity depends on correctly estimating weak reflections, so it is a bit vulnerable to the integration procedures. I prefer the 4th moment of E - 2nd moment of I. Providing there is no pseudo-translation they are pretty reliable indicators of twinning Eleanor Bryan W. Lepore

I am a big fan of the RvR statistic (http://journals.iucr.org/d/issues/2006/01/00/ba5089/index.html) This statistic is very usefull when a model is available. When no model is present, the L test is nice as well and is relatively robust in the presence of pseudo centring. P 2007/10/31, Elean
