Yes we have tried SHELXD From: Eleanor Dodson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 16 August 2016 14:21 To: Douangamath, Alice (DLSLtd,RAL,LSCI) Cc: ccp4bb Subject: Re: [ccp4bb] experimental phasing with a pseudo-translation
Hmm - pseudo translation shouldnt matter for finding ha sites.. of course your SG could be wrong - a translation of 0.33 0.5 0.72 means you will have absences along 0 k 0 whether the SG is P2 or P21 I presume you have tried SHELXD?

There is no homologous model for molecular replacement and Xtriage clearly showed the presence of a pseudo-translation. The crystallographic info is: Space group P21, cell parameters: 77,134,84,90,100,90 Pseudo-translation: 0.33 0.5 0.72 So far, we did not manage to find the sites. How are the current softwares dealing with pseudo-translation for experimental phasing? Can you point us to some structures solved by experimental phasing with a pseudo-translation? Especially how it was solved?
