anisotropy, 78% solvent content and maybe merohedral twinning Hi Stefan, 1) just out of curiosity I wrote a tiny script using CCTBX that estimates solvent content via bulk-solvent mask, and quickly run this script for all PDB structures for which I could re-calculate the R-work within 5% from

Give XDS a try with your data or d*trek with 3d profile fitting. Did you try iMosflm or the old Mosflm ? If old, then POSTREF WIDTH 15 might help and POSTREF FIX BEAM You saw the nice packing from Tjaard, if all your molecules have contact with each other than that's fine I was just concerned ab

Don't forget that if you have poorly resolved spots due to the long axis, the intensity statistics may falsely seem to indicate twinning, since weak spots may be contaminated by neighbouring strong ones Phil On 14 Dec 2011, at 04:47, Stefan Gajewski wrote: > I am looking at a highly unusual cr

If you have air in the packing that's worrysome. If symmetry mates don't make crystal contacts you are in trouble. Have you checked a simple selfrotation function in your currently favored space group ? Do you have sufficient data collected to start out in P1 or C2 ? Then I would start there

I am looking at a highly unusual crystal lattice right now and can't figure out what is going on, so I decided to ask the experts. I recently got data on a oligomeric protein with many highly correlated NCS units (4.0A resolution, linear R-sym is 0.16-0.21 in I4, I422, F222, C2 and 0.12 in P1)
