Re: [ccp4bb] Problematic P2 dataset with pseudotranslation

These things are always very difficult. It is obvious from the TRUNCATE log that your data is incomplete past about 2.5A and that it is very anisotropic (See wilson graph and the anisotropy fall off graph.) ( but why do you say the data stops at 2.2 when the graphs go to 1.9A?) There doesnt

Manfred was kind enough to give us the data to check his F432 case with Phaser, and I am happy to say that in our hands the solution was clear, with TFZ=23, however the model had 16 clashes and so the default job did not report a solution. This has inspired us to look again at being able to

Hello Eleanor I was using the ccp4i gui to run scala when I got the SORTMTZ detected error on obtaining record from sort procedure in return phase, status = 256 . The error vanished when I upgraded from ccp4 6.0 to 6.0.2 In any case the old com file for sortmtz is pasted below. It seems quite

Hurrah!!! I have quite often found that the packing requirements are too tight and ifell that they need at least to be given as a % of the CAs . MOLREP actually has a more sensitive packing check which looks at the % of the molecule which overlaps, and that is less likely to reject good

Hi Julian, I didn't see in Elenor's reply the calculate a native Patterson map option and verify that you actually have translational symmetry. You should have an off origin peak which will then give you the translation vector. When running Molrep look at the logfile it should automatically

[ccp4bb] Unmerged output from Scala

Is anyone using the OUTPUT UNMERGED option in Scala? This file contains columns called SCALE SIGSCALE which are the applied scale and its SD I propose to change the names of these columns so that if you put the file back into Scala the scales do not get re-applied by default (which is

Phil, Labelit.rsymop relies on OUTPUT UNMERGED ORIGINAL to access scaled intensities with original Miller indices. However, the data are not fed back into Scala, so the changes you propose would be OK. Nick Phil Evans wrote: Is anyone using the OUTPUT UNMERGED option in Scala? This

Hi Graeme, even with these options (ONLYMERGE and SCALES CONSTANT) you will have the SCALE column applied again to the intensities (not good) - at least that's how I understood Phil. You need to use ONLYMERGE INSCALE OFF to use the already scaled intensities and avoid applying the SCALE column
