Re: [ccp4bb] alternating strong/weak intensities in reciprocal planes - P622

2007-08-31 Thread Eleanor Dodson
If you have a high off origin peak at 0 0 0.5 you must have absences along the 00l axis also consistent with P63 22. So you need to test both P6322 and P6 22 And is the tetramer generated by crystal symmetry or is the whole thing in the asymmetric unit? Eleanor Jorge Iulek wrote: Dear all,

Re: [ccp4bb] How many twinned crystals?

2007-08-31 Thread Ian Tickle
In the past twinned crystals must have been much more frequent than published twinned structures because the traditional reaction of crystallographers to twinning has been either to find a way of inhibiting it or chucking the crystals in the bin and finding a non-twinned form. But I guess

2007-08-31 Thread George M. Sheldrick
Since processing non-merohedrally twinned crystals became routine in small-molecule crystallography, the number of such twins has increased dramatically. The data are often as good as from normal crystals and there is the advantage of getting a higher redundancy and greater completeness by
