Re: [ccp4bb] Regarding the correct space group identification

Dear Sayan So much has been said about this already. What struck me, in looking at the second of your images, is that there is almost certain to be spot overlap (to the left / centre of the image) and a chance that the correct unit cell may be larger than the indexing suggests. The lower beam

Re: [ccp4bb] 8/ 2263 spots indexed XDS

Hi Almudena I wouldn't claim to be a great expert on XDS, but, based on the experience of analyzing a load of data on the beamline, there are many things you can try - The most important ones are to use lots (all?) your images for the spot search (SPOT_RANGE) , and not to hesitate cutting the

Re: [ccp4bb] Se-SAD phasing

Dear Mario The data seem very good but you are looking for an awful lot of sites. Keep trying with SHELX, but there are some keywords that you might use which may help (see extract from SHELX doc). This worked for me for a couple of structures with > 100 sites. You should also try with and

Re: [ccp4bb] tricky mr problem

We often use a S-SAD type data collection (there would be no need for enormous redundancy) which, if your model is correct, should show up the S positions in the same way as a Se-met would show up the Se positions. Good way of validating your model and a help to tracing. Cheers Andy
