[ccp4bb] mtz for zanuda - which symmetry?

2013-04-26 Thread Frank von Delft
Hi - For Zanuda, the mtz input it wants: what spacegroup are the data meant to be merged to? The highest possible, potentially twinned? Or the lowest possible? I've looked reasonably hard (10min on the manuals and The Google), and the answer did not leap out at me at all. Even though it

Hi Frank, I have not worked with Zanuda, but googled for the manual (first hit; 1sec). It seems that there are 2 modes: 1) to restore the true (higher symmetry) space group after a structure had intentionally been solved in a lower symmetry space group e.g. P1. In this case the option to

Hi Eleanor, The recent versions of Refmac work well with the records in PDB format. According to the list of bug fixes on the website, Refmac should now take the distance from the PDB file (it used to complain about the distance record). Changing the 1.48 to 1.61 in the new LINK record should

Not sure I follow you completely.. You dont say what anom scatterer you expect, or what the wavelength is. 1) How did you find the anomalous peaks? If from an anomalous difference Fourier there will inevitably be noise. In practice when there are S to check this can be very helpful in deciding

Pat, Try TLS - I usually don't invoke it at this type of resolution but in one case I saw it make a surprisingly significant improvement. I would also be tempted to put the structures through Arp/wArp and see if it lowers the R-free any more - rightly or wrongly I view this as the lowest

Hi Pat, On top of Phil's suggestion for invoking TLS, what about the NCS? Is there anything peculiar about them (tNCS or the like)? If there isn't, are you imposing NCS during refinement? perhaps you should relax the NCS restraints or not impose any at all and see what happens then? My 2p
