I think the answer to your question depends on why the data is incomplete. James On Mar 17, 2008, at 3:06 AM, Melody Lin wrote: Hi all, I have always been wondering... for a data set diffracting to say 2.15 Angstrom but in the highest resolution shell (2.25-2.15) the completeness is

Hi all, I have always been wondering... for a data set diffracting to say 2.15Angstrom but in the highest resolution shell ( 2.25-2.15) the completeness is 74%, should I use merge all the data and call it a 2.15 A dataset or I should cut the data set to say 2.25 A where the highest resolution

Hi Melody, There was a nice discussion in this year's ccp4 study weekend. In general, one needs to consider several factors.. If you were at 3A, or low symmetry, you would of course try to get the maximum out of it, on the other hand, there are requirements for experimental phasing.. in general,

well, redundancy for the highest shell is 4.8, I/sigma is 3, Rmerge for overall is 0.08 for highest shell is 0.336. I/sigma and Rmerge don't seem quite nice... thanks. On Mon, Mar 17, 2008 at 11:51 AM, Partha Chakrabarti [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Melody, There was a nice discussion in this

Looks ok I guess.. for the highest shell, if Rmerge is less than 0.45 and I/sigma is about 2, it is worth a try.. as James said, completeness might be from why it is incomplete.. is it something like C2? experts might tell us more.. Best, Partha On Mon, Mar 17, 2008 at 11:03 AM, Melody Lin

I would use all the data myself and report that the model was built from a a dataset with 74% completeness in the 2.25 to 2.15 Anngstrom shell. I would not put the number 2.15 A in the manuscript title nor in the poster title. For me the acceptable completeness is 90% in the highest

2008-03-17 Thread James Stroud
Redundancy of 4.8 for a 74% complete shell (if I understand which shell these stats are for) suggests you have assumed too much symmetry and are rejecting a lot of reflections during scaling. Is this the case? The I/sigma suggests you could drop the symmetry and re-scale without losing a

Hi - I would tend to argue as follows: An I/sigI of 3, and Rmerge of 33.6% are most definitely acceptable values with a redundancy of 4.8. Thus, despite the 74% completeness, that data are most definitely useful and should be included in refinement. A good question now is why is the

Dear all, Thank you very much for the useful suggestions! I definitely learned a lot from these discussions. Now looking back at my datasets, I think the incompleteness likely results from high mosaicity (1.009) and anisotropy of the crystal. Detector is square, but the distance is short enough
