when reindexing p212121 with -h,l,k, you get P 21 21 21 (a+1/4,b-1/4,c-1/4) so you should subtract 1/4 from x and add a quarter to y and z. some tools in the cctbx are available that make this go easy (reindexing and moving things back to a standard setting). Reruning phaser might be the least

Re: [ccp4bb] space group problem

Clemens is right of course. If you ignore the lattice centring in C2, the cells are the same. I was however under the impression that auto-indexing goes via the primitive cell. Which makes the two solutions unique. Ignoring the possible lattice translation in P2 will show up in a Patterson

Re: [ccp4bb] Pseudo-merohedral twinning and Molecular replacement

Wilson plots are not very informative for the detection of twinning. The spikes you see in your Wilson plots, could be due to ise ring issues (both 3.89 and 2.24 A are at ice ring related d scapings.) The very large mean intensity in those resolution shells could be due to the fact that only

Re: [ccp4bb] Pseudo-merohedral twinning and Molecular replacement

the Nz test says no twinning and the intensity stats say this as well. but the Britton and H-plots give a twin fraction of 0.46-0.47 ! The britton and H test give an estimate of the twin fraction IF THE DATA IS WOULD BE TWINNED. The fact it gives a non zero value does not indicate the

Hi Dirk, Nice cross validation flags for twin refinement do obey the twin law: if (h,k,l) is in the free set, then (k, h, -l) should be as well. Same is/should be true for work set btw. In phenix, we generate test reflections that follow the lattice symmetry (*). This means that even if you do

Re: [ccp4bb] Twinning in C2 ?

Hi Demetres, not sure if this is going to be usefull, but here I go. Your native has a twin law that and your cell is pseudo C222. The mutant is not. pseudo merohedral twinning is not handled well by the twin server you derscribe as it relies on lookup tables. There is no obvious 'perfect'

Re: [ccp4bb] twin fraction varies between crystals?

Hi Mark, Estimating twin fractions is best done on the basis of refining it with a model. This can be done with phenix.refine or other programs like shelx or CNS. The ML estimate ofd the twin fraction relies on the correctness of the sigmas. The 0.02 is actually the lower limit the ML
