A back of the envellope calculation shows that your asymmetric unit contains most likely 4 molecules with Vm = 2.16 A3/Da, corresponding to 43% solvent. Searching for 16 molecules is thus nonsense. Remy Loris Vrije Universiteit Brussel On 17/08/14 08:54, Avisek Mondal wrote: Hello everyone, i

. Also: there cannot be three molecules in the unit cell as this space group has six asymmetric units. You probably mean three molecules in the asymmetric unit. Since crystallography is an exact science, one needs to be correct. Remy Loris Vrije Universiteit Brussel On 15/02/13 21:35

remove the side chain atoms (but keep the residue name). And that is the same as what you do with a whole loop that is disordered. I think it is lso the most common practice in deposited structures. Remy Loris Vrije Universiteit Brussel On 09/11/12 20:22, Faisal Tarique wrote: Dear all i have

Seconday structure assignement by Pymol is poor and unreliable to say the least. This behavior is very common. Best is to assign secondary structure using other software and then tell Pymol explicitely from where to where the starnds and helices run Remy Loris Vriej universiteit Brussel

Ideally you should rotate your crystal around the long axis during data collection. This is however easier said than done since often such crystals grow a plates with the long axis perpendicular to the plane of the plate. As long as the long axis is more or less oriented perpendicular to the
