[ccp4bb] twin refinement

Hi i am refining a protein strucutre with space group P61. Intesity statistics doesnot suggest any twining but refmac and phenix xtriage suggest a twin operator with fraction 0.48. when refined with this twin operator R factors come dowm by 3-5% and also map looks much better. but upon closer ins

James, it's just the C centring: (1/2,y,1/2) + (1/2,1/2,0) = (0,1/2+y,1/2) which is the alternate origin so you will indeed get the same F's and different phases (don't forget that shifts along y are arbitrary!). Cheers -- Ian On Tue, Mar 2, 2010 at 11:13 PM, James Holton wrote: > Apologies for

Apologies for bringing back an old thread, but I recently returned home to my dear copy of the ITC vol. B, and decided to double-check that my "personal" list of origin shifts matches the one found in there. To my surprise, there seems to be at least one real difference: C2 The "allowed orig

Dear Melanie, Thank you for your message. You can find the number for the ESD based on the Luzzati Plot in the REMARK3 section of the header. Several other coordinate ESD values are listed as well, based on the DPI definitions of Cruickshank and of Blow. There is a line for the Estimated erro

Thanks a tonne Paul . Once I deleted the ~/.fontconfig directory the ccp4-6.1.3 provided coot.App [0.6 (revision 2540) [with guile 1.8.3 embedded]] launched right up. So I guess this is a gtk2 or Xquartz peculiarity because the fink compiled coot (0.6.1 (revision 2740) , guile 1.8.2) launched
