In the past twinned crystals must have been much more frequent than published twinned structures because the traditional reaction of crystallographers to twinning has been either to find a way of inhibiting it or chucking the crystals in the bin and finding a non-twinned form. But I guess that's changing now with better software and we're becoming more adventurous - maybe that's why we're hearing about more twinned crystals now. -- Ian > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jacob Keller > Sent: 31 August 2007 18:32 > To: CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK > Subject: How many twinned crystals? > > Since I joined this list, I have seen many many issues with > twinned structures, but have never seen > any personally.
