Hi,
The point is to check where you have the non helicoidal 2fold axis (no extinction). I guess, it will be the 2-fold axis along your a parameter. Then, you have to reindex, because the convention is to choose the 2 fold axis along c.

Goood luck,

Hi
I crystallized a protein in different condition than reported before and structure had been already reported by other group. In both cases space group is P21 21 2 Right now I am not interested in solving the structure, but to look for some other properties.
I see a difference in cell dimension as follows.
Reported structure
a = 96.54
b = 121.95
c = 75.33

For my crystal
a = 75.03
b = 96.50
c = 121.98

This the cell dimensions are ~equal in lengths but are associated with different axis compare to the reported crysta structure. I used HKL2000 for indexing.
I would like to know why the above difference in cell dimensions.
Is there any way I can index my data which would give cell parameters of reported structure?
thanks in advance for any suggestion/comments.
sam
