I don't have a particular solution in mind, but wish to note that, in my experience, something like this near a ASN or ASP residue is not "unusual electron density". I have seen ugly density that looks like this many times. I usually end up with partially occupied water molecules, but am

Hi Eleanor, yes, for sufficiently complete datasets a reference dataset is enough. But in serial crystallography, there is typically little overlap between individual data sets. And the data quality is often low. In my posting I forgot to say that CrystFEL also has a facility to overcome

Surely once you have indexed one crystal, you can use the facility to check the next ones indexing against the reference - aka pointless? On Fri, 22 Jul 2022 at 16:20, Kay Diederichs wrote: > Hi Monika, > > in June we had a summer school at MaxIV, and one of the topics was serial >

Hi Monika, I would process the data using the point group information ignoring any possible screw axes, e.g. in space group P222, where the true space group might be P212121. The next step depends on how you plan to solve the structure. You mention that there is no cryo structure, do you mean

Dear Florian, There have been previous examples where there are distinct “layers” of protein packing without any obvious density linking the layers, as it appears in the image you show. One is tyrosyl tRNA synthetase, where the layers were in fact linked by a disordered
