Dear all,
I am looking for examples of different packing arrangements in crystals of the
same protein with similar unit cell parameters and space group (eg the protein
adopts different packing although the crystals remain the same both in unit
cell dimensions and space group). Can this happen, for example, during flash
cooling?
Thank you in advance

Dear Tassos,
I would guess that you rather have a problem of different choices of
origins between your datasets which can happen for a number of
spacegroups. This can make that the packing appears different on the
first glimpse, but you should be able to translate one arrangement on
top of another.
Yours
Wim
