Hi Jason, I looked at the part of FRAME.cbf you posted, and I'd say it looks ok (i.e. nothing to worry about). Some overlap of a reflection doesn't matter much; if its full profile is not available then INTEGRATE replaces the missing intensity by an estimate based on the known fraction of

For large unit cells, one must take particular care with the X-ray beam and the orientation of the crystal. The latter has already been mentioned in previous response. For the beam, some things to do are: 1. Make crystal smaller. 2. Make beam smaller (use a smaller collimator size). 3. Reduce

The cell predictions look like they're overlapping but the spots are not. At first glance it looks like the unit cell is incorrect and is too large. You seem to have intense spots mixed in with weak spots at the same resolution. Smells like multiple unit cells / cracked crystal (which if

Hi, The autoindexing picks this unit cell pretty much unambiguously, and the profiles look reasonable. These are crystals of a very large heterodimer (2177 residues), and this unit cell would have 2 heterodimers and 56% solvent, which seems reasonable. Scaling and merging produce reasonable

Hi, This is what I thought when collecting the data - the spots did not look to be overlapping. I have actually got 4 datasets (native, mercury, iodide and platinum soaks) and they all index as the same spacegroup and unit cell (the Pt soak being slightly larger unit cell). This is of a

grep SPOT_RANGE IDXREF.LP should provide you information about that. No idea what the default would be. How about pointless ? Something else which might buy you a bit of signal is NUMBER_OF_PROFILE_GRID_POINTS_ALONG_ALPHA/BETA=13 NUMBER_OF_PROFILE_GRID_POINTS_ALONG_GAMMA=13 The default for

From the statistics you posted, it seems like the integration went quite reasonably. There is a slight undercompleteness in the high resolution bin (82% is a bit on the low end but since this is for phasing I'd expect a traceable map in light of this). Do the diffraction images indicate very

Hi, Ok, IDXREF.LP shows that it was only using 1-262. I tried running COLSPOT and IDXREF again, and it picks the same unit cell. Pointless picks Pmmm and picks 2 definite screw axes, and one possible (p ~0.5), so either P22121 or P212121. I did change the number of grid points to 13 on my

I'd run INTEGRATE(REFINE)=CELL CORRECT(REFINE)=CELL and fixing your distance first. Then once XDS is done copy GXPARM.XDS to XPARM.XDS and enter those refined values into your XDS.INP script. Once you have a stable cell you can refine the distance and later fix that one. Moving distance is a

Hi Jason, don't really think that the overall scaling stats look very good. Even for such a long unit cell, we have plenty of in-house data (even with a smaller detector) with much lower Rmerge, typically below 0.15. Possibly monoclinic with beta close to 90deg? This might also explain the

I second Jürgen's suggestion of fixing the distance -- this is often quite helpful when dealing with difficult datasets, at least in my experience And this goes without saying, but also double check your beamcenter and try masking the beamstop (using UNTRUSTED_ELLIPSE) if you haven't done so
