Re: [ccp4bb] P321 space group reindex problem

Hi, it is therefore likely that your spacegroup is really P321... hopefully, your data set is not twinned, did you check that ? You are left with 2 possible indexing schemes, as already mentionned. Chek scaling derivative / native scaling for each indexation of the derivative : the lowest

Thank you very much for your reply. In my own understanding, We collect the peak dataset, because of the large F'', and we can get strong anomalous signal. We collect the edge dataset, because of the large F', and combined with the remote dataset, we can use the method just like SIR to get some

Hi, you are right, the peak dataset corresponds to the highest f'' value. However, this does not mean that f'' is null for the other wavelengthes... you still have significant anomalous signal at the edge and for the high energy remote wavelength... this will help your phasing, so use it !

Thank you for your remind of the twin problem. I checked all of the datasets by Xtriage, and found that the native is not twinned, but the derivant1 and derivant2 are both twinned. So is the Rfactor between derivants and native useful for the judgement of the success of the heavy atom soaking?

Hi there, I am not certain that the thread is P321 space group reindex problem any more. But: trigonal (and hexagonal) space groups are (usually?) polar. The cell axis c can go up or can go down, and in order to get a consistent indexing you need to check both indexing systems when you

If the data sets are twinned, large differences between derivatives are to be expected unless the twin fraction is very, very low (1-2%). Given the above, I think nothing can be said until the data are all detwinned - and of course the correct axial interchange done. Adrian On 30 May 2012,
