Hi Eleanor, Hi All,

As suggested by Andrew (thanks!), I've switched off the NCS in Phaser and this gave a solution in C2 (a=66.2 b=83.9  c=66.2   90 98.7  90) that refines much better than the others (R=0.32/0.39).

Still, I am not 100% convinced this is the correct cell/spacegroup... but it's a good starting point to continue the investigation.

Thanks to all for your help !

You have tried all spacegroups within point groups? P2 p21 c222 c2221?.

    If data processing to be ok and all possible monoclinic and
    orthorombic SG gave unreasonable high Rs, maybe good to give a try
    with p1 space group? Since the p-lattice indexing gave same a and
     b also very close alpha and beta, it could not exclude the
    possibility of p1 then twinned (also together with ncs and tNCS)
    to show higher symmetry?

    Hi Gianluca,

    Have you checked for diffraction anisotropy problems? It might be
    worth running it through the STARANISO webserver:
    https://staraniso.globalphasing.org/cgi-bin/staraniso.cgi.
    Anisotropy can make your data look twinned and elliptical
    truncation can help improve maps.

    Good luck!

    Best,
    Jessica

        Hello, can you give us a screenshot of a diffraction image,
        with the caveat that they never look all that good with
        fine-slicing, still it might help ;-0 Also, an idea of the
        R-merge, R-meas, CC-half in some of those space groups.

        Best wishes, Jon Cooper. [email protected]

            Dear All,

            I have collected a dataset from a small protein
            diffracting at 2.7A resolution, here is the space-group
            determination from XDS:

             *  44        aP          0.0      66.3 66.3   83.9 
            90.2  90.1  98.7
             *  31        aP          1.2      66.3 66.3   83.9 
            89.8  90.1  81.3
             *  14        mC         1.3      86.4 100.6   83.9 
            90.0  90.2  90.0
             *  34        mP         2.9      66.3 83.9   66.3  90.2 
            98.7  90.1
             *  13        oC          3.7      86.4 100.6   83.9 
            90.0  90.2  90.0
             *  10        mC         4.9     100.6 86.4   83.9  89.8 
            90.0  90.0

            Clearly, something weird is going on...

            The structure can be solved in C2/P21/C2221 with
            different number of molecules in the AU, with Phaser
            complaining about strong tNCS modulation.

            However the maps look bad and the structure is impossible
            to refine (Rfact > 0.5) in all the space-groups that I
            have tried so far...

            Thanks in advance for any advice on how to rescue these
            data !

            Cheers,

            GIA
