Re: [ccp4bb] pointless (1.2.0) and enantiomorphic SG's

2007-11-09 Thread Winter, G (Graeme)
Hi Kevin,

I would say that the most useful place for this token will be in
reduced-data land prior to getting phases - so for instance going into
Phaser it could make a sensible choice about what spacegroups to test
based on the accuracy information, likewise experimental phasing / dm
programs. Once these programs have computed phases they will (most
likely) be in a position to decide the correct spacegroup and write this
out with some authority along with the phases. 

So what I am getting at is that you are unlikely to have phases without
knowing what the right spacegroup is. Certainly, you are unlikely to
have correct phases ;o)

This cannot possibly cure the spacegroup naming problem, but it could
certainly allow people to say what they mean when assigning some
spacegroup information to a reflection file... 

Cheers,

Graeme

Subject: Re: [ccp4bb] pointless (1.2.0) and enantiomorphic SG's

This is great! But before we all get carried away, a quick reality check
is in order. This isn't an area I've thought about, but my limited
understanding raises the following issues

Given that an MTZ file contains a cell, an indexing of the data, and
possibly phases involving a choice of origin, the use of an MTZ file
immediately implies that some decision has been made about the
spacegroup.

Selecting a different spacegroup from a list of possibilities may
involve reindexing, and/or changing origin/enantiomorph dependent
properties such as phases and HLs.

It would be possible for an MTZ file to say something like this:
  'This file is generated assuming spacegroup X. Spacegroups X1, X2, X3,
X4, X5 are also possible.'.

It should also be possible to compute on the fly whether a particular
column type needs to be modified for a different spacegroup.

How will we present this in user interfaces? As a starting point, until
a spacegroup has been settled upon, the user will need the option of
picking the spacegroup after having selected the MTZ. This means
potentially a reindexing step added to every single task - messy. As an
intermediate, being able to change the 'currently selected' spacegroup
as a separate task would be an improvement.

Of course, you may need to re-index even if you have the right space 
group...



Offering a selection of space groups compatible with a point group 
will not require reindexing.
Some point groups of course permit reindexing, but one hope you have 
chosen a consistent set as you combine data sets into an MTZ file - 
pointless and the GUI both offer ways to check this.


Phasing cannot be carried out till you have chosen a spacegroup, and 
any existing phase associated data should probably be weeded out as 
part of a Assign Spacegroup function.
