See here for definition of polar point group: http://pd.chem.ucl.ac.uk/pdnn/symm2/polar1.htm . SG P321 is in PG 32 which has a unique point where the axes intersect so is not polar. Note that non-centrosymmetric non-enantiomorphic PGs m, mm2, 3m, 4mm and 6mm are also polar, so it's not just

Hi Natalia, As this is not a phenix-specific question I'll answer here on the CCP4 bulletin board (for questions that are just for phenix it is best to use the phenix mailing list instead). Your heavy atom sites (and your protein molecule) are repeated millions of times throughout your

Hi Bernhard, thanks for the pointer. It looks like most of the coot ncs functions don't print the matrix values, which made exporting them tricky, especially because I'm pretty new to scripting in Python. I have 4 chains, and ncs_ghosts(0) just spits out result is [['NCS found from matching

Dear Shane, It's not CCP4, but Tom Terwilliger's find_ncs program works conveniently. Like coot, it's only returning 4 decimal places, if that's a problem (though adding a 5th decimal place would only typically change the result of a rotation by hundredths of an Angstrom). I've just tried

Dear Gaoyina, I agree with Thassos that it is unlikely that your cell axes are all 90 Å long and more likely that you mentioned the angles. I also agree with Thassos that it would be best to run Pointless or Xtriage. However, I think it is also good to try to determine the space group
