Donghyuk - testing your "twinning" in a lower symmetry space group can be misleading. Many checks look to see if twin related reflections are similar. But the twin laws are often the same as the symmetry operators, so if you have ignored the true symmetry, you will wrongly assume you have twinning.

Dear Randy, Thank you for the important information and the useful link. I have another question to bother you. How accurately can these twining assessment programs report the data? What could prevent these programs from reporting twinning data? (Twinned data are reported as untwinned data)

Dear Lan, Yes, that’s a serious problem that has led some people astray, including a few papers where people got apparently good R-factors by invoking non-existent twinning. You can find a brief discussion of this point on the CCP4 wiki (https://strucbio.biologie.uni-konstanz.de/ccp4wiki/index

That P6322 Xtriage shows pretty clearly that you have good data, and that it is not twinned.. So I think you stick with that spacegroup - introducing false twin laws to explain true crystal symmetry reduces the R values at the expense of getting clear electron density. You could process the data

Hi, I'm just catching up on the BB after the CCP4 Study Weekend! Going back to the beginning of this thread, it's true that tNCS and twinning have opposite effects on the intensity moments, which can mask each other. However, for simple cases (as this one appears to be) with a single NCS tran

For two projects in the distant past, we dealt with tNCS by initially telling lies to the software (1szp and 3pkz). The tNCS was strong enough that there was a clear weak/dark pattern in the diffraction pattern, so for the initial molecular replacement we used a data set in the smaller unit cel

Donghyuk The combination of two things gives me cause for concern: 1. You've reindexed something that apparently scaled OK in point group 622 into point group 2, with a smaller cell. Since it's hard to fake that sort of data agreement in 622, I assume your data is at the very least pseudo-62
