Hi Prasum,

In such case, with xia2 you could try to add the option: small_molecule=true.
This will enable the consideration of centrosymmetric spacegourps.
Or you can try in pointless the options:
CHIRALITY  NONCHIRAL or CENTROSYMMETRIC

Your spacegroup could be P-1 (#2).
Good luck,
Pierre

Objet : [ccp4bb] Racemic crystallography and structure solving problem

Hi All:

I have performed racemic crystallography and got crystals that diffracted. The 
automatic processing softwares, XIA2 DIALS, (available in Diamond, UK) gives 
the space group as P1 and cell dimension
42.78   52.16   54.49   114.11  92.16   92.31.

Challanges start from here:

1) How much I should be assured of the space group as I expect my peptides to 
get crystallized in the same group, but by default we get the same space group.
2) Is there any seperate method for processing the raw images in my case.

I used the merged .mtz file for phasing. However, I always get the warning that 
eLLG score is low and it is difficult to fit a single copy of the ensemble. 
CC1/2 and I/SigI are in acceptable range. Completeness is also more than 95%.

My peptides, 30 residues long, form an oligomer. However, I do not have 
reliable model of oligomers to start with. I have taken a single helix of 
length 24, 12 and 6 residues to phase, but no luck so far.
Any guidelines will be really helpful.

I am happy to provide any other relevant information, if one wants.

Thanx in advance
Prasun
