Morning all
Apologies for the simple question. I have a structure I would like to solve using molecular replacement. I am a bit confused by the patterson peaks. There appears to be a large non-origin peak (although it is apparently symmetry-related to the origin?). Does this mean that there is some translation occurring in the asymmetric unit? Or is there non-crystallographic symmetry? Does anyone know what I should do to address this? I have continued with the molecular replacement as normal and did not get a solution with Phaser. Molrep gives a solution that appears correct based on the maps and refines reasonably well.
