Hi Michelle,

Better throw away all images, end up with no data to guarantee an R-merge of 0 and try homology modeling approaches.

Now a more serious advice, If you get a good solution in P3121 and you have an indication that the data is twinned, I guess you stick with that space group. The table below shows the statistics from space group P3121 or the space group P6222? I wouldn't be worried out Rmerges, as long as your I/sigI looks reasonable. Can you say something about redundancies?

2.6 A data might be a bit on the edge for Shelxl, I guess that others can give better advice there. CNS does a good job as well for twinned data.

Dear all,

After integrating and scaling a dataset using Denzo and Scalepack, I obtained the following results:

 Shell Lower Upper Average      Average     Norm. Linear Square
 limit    Angstrom       I   error   stat. Chi**2  R-fac  R-fac
      50.00   5.60   524.2    11.4     6.8  1.080  0.045  0.041
       5.60   4.45   319.3    13.0     7.5  1.108  0.091  0.103
       4.45   3.88   301.0    17.8     8.7  0.989  0.114  0.123
       3.88   3.53   187.9    12.7     9.1  1.027  0.141  0.148
       3.53   3.28   103.2     9.2     8.6  1.068  0.201  0.193
       3.28   3.08    66.7     8.6     8.5  1.054  0.304  0.299
       3.08   2.93    44.6     8.6     8.6  1.010  0.480  0.472
       2.93   2.80    32.8     8.6     8.6  1.009  0.648  0.645
       2.80   2.69    25.3     8.5     8.5  0.982  0.844  0.689
       2.69   2.60    16.6     8.3     8.2  0.957  0.000  0.990
  All reflections    168.1    10.7     8.3  1.030  0.129  0.083

The I/sigma is 2 at the resolution 2.6 A, but the Rmerge for the high resolution shells is very high, actually higher than 1 for the last shell! My question is: should I keep all the data, or should I cut them around 3.1 A in order to have a resonable Rmerge even for the last shell?

I should say that the data appear to be twinned (based on the tests of truncate, the Yeates twinning server, and Dataman with the Yeates-Padilla method) with a twinning fraction around 0.46. The apparent space group is P6222, but I obtained a good MR solution in P3121. If I can I will refine the structure with Shelxl, but therefore it is important to have at least medium resolution data.


Thank you in advance,
