I am sure someone has suggested this - you can submit your coordinates to the PISA server which will give you a detailed analysis of contacts, then you choose which grouping you think makes the most reasonable assemblyn and take the asymmetric unit from that .

I actually like to do that while still refining - it makes coot a lot easier to use if you are working with a compact molecule!

Respected Sir,

The space group is H3. if I generate the symmetry,
it appears to be a dimer of trimers stacked one above
the other with a rotation of 60 deg wrt each other, like
this - A1, A2, A3 (in one trimer) stacked upon
B1, B2, B3 (second trimer). So structure that is in the ASU
is with A1-B1 while PISA predicts A1-B2.

Thank you

     PISA predicts most probable assembly as a dimer but this
     dimeric assembly is different from what is solved (offcourse
     we can generate the symmetry equivalent molecule and get that).

     This last sentence is a bit vague. Can you take the just dimer that PISA
     predicts, fit this dimer to the lattice (i.e. each monomer sitting 
correctly
     in density but retaining the dimeric relationship predicted by PISA), and
     then generate the complete lattice using just this fitted dimer and
     crystallographic symmetries?

     If so, that means that the PISA dimer is equivalent to the ASU you can
     deposit the PISA dimer as the ASU.
