Re: [ccp4bb] problem in scaling the Zn-MAD data

2012-04-06 Thread Eleanor Dodson
I don't see how a self rotation function can determine SG. If you processed 
data as P1 then found the SR maps showed 3 folds and 2 folds you might 
suspect that POINT GROUP!!! (Remember space groups are guessed on the basis 
of systematic absences - you don't really know that till you have a 
structure solution)


At the integration stage it is important to choose a crystal class - e.g. 
trigonal with a=b and gamma = 120 The point groups then may be P3 P312 P321 
P6 P6/mmm


After integration a program like pointless checks for symmetry agreement. 
eg do h k l k (-h-k),l and -h-k,h,l agree well? In that case you probably 
have 3 fold symmetry.


And so on for other possible symmetry operators..

After that you can probably be confident of your point group.

But as Clemens pointed out - there are different equally possible indexing 
conventions for some of these choices. You need to check pass 2 against 
pass 1, etc - see pointless GUI Eleanor

When you say 'Scaling the data for MAD experiments': do you mean
scaling the various scans for your 3-wvl MAD data in a single scaling
job? Unless you already took care of this during data integration,
remember that your separate scans could have been indexed differently
and therefore don't match up. See eg.

 http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/html/reindexing.html

for some lookup-tables in P312 and P321. You can use the CCP4 program
'reindex' on MTZ files if needed.

But I guess most modern data-processing and scaling programs will take
care of that automatically anyway?

You know that point group has two indexing conventions (h k l and -k,-h,-l 
if I remember - see the CCP4 documentation on alternate indexing and use 
pointless to sort it out.. Eleanor

Re: [ccp4bb] problem in scaling the Zn-MAD data

Hi -

Let me just add that P312 is a very uncommon space group for protein 
crystals, much less common than P321.  (This doesn't mean you don't have 
it - it's just unlikely.)  If you look at PDB statistics:


P 3 1 2 : 12 structures
P3(1) 1 2: 61 structures
P3(2) 1 2: 85 structures

P 3 2 1 : 278 structures
P3(1) 2 1: 2354 structures
P3(2) 2 1: 2533 structures

This also suggests, by the way, that you have a screw axis that you 
haven't accounted for yet.  It won't affect your data scaling, but it 
sure will affect your molecular replacement job!


Hope that helps,
Matt

Dear Deepthi,

is it just a typo, or do your last two sentences say that your data DO
NOT scale in P312 but scale well in P321?

Did you try pointless for space group determination? I have not used
molrep for this purpose and cannot judge how reliable the self rotation
function is for space group determination.

Depending on your resolution and cell dimensions you may have very few
reflection for determining the screw axis.

Do your data suffer from radiation damage, does the cell become greater
during integration? Did you fix the detector distance during integration?

Best wishes,

Tim

2012-04-04 Thread Frank von Delft
Sounds then like your spacegroup is p321... It's your data (scaling) that 
determines that, not your preconceptions (which wasn't clear how arrived at 
either?)

Hello everyone
I have a problem scaling the MAD data which was collected a week ago.The
data was collected at 1.5A resolution using three wavelengths for Zn-MAD
experiments. Scaling the data for MAD experiments, the number of rejections
and chi2 values were very high even after adjusting the error-scale factor
and error model. The space group i used was p312 which i obtained by
running a self-rotation function in MOLREP. When i scale my data using p312
spacegroup the chi2 and rejections were huge. But he data was scaling well
in p321 spacegroup. can anyone explain whats going on?
