Hi,

The autoindexing picks this unit cell pretty much unambiguously, and the 
profiles look reasonable.  These are crystals of a very large heterodimer (2177 
residues), and this unit cell would have 2 heterodimers and 56% solvent, which 
seems reasonable.  Scaling and merging produce reasonable statistics (I used 
aimless, not XSCALE):

Rmerge is high in the outer shell, but looks ok to me across the rest of the 
data.  The oscillation angle is correct.

The native data set also indexes with the same spacegroup and a slightly 
smaller unit cell (a=134 b=148 c=274), I attributed the difference to the Pt 
soak.

The only ambiguity is one of the screw axes, so it may be P22121 or P212121.  
My XDS.INP has SPOT_RANGE commented out so I believe the default is to use all 
the data for indexing.

Cheers,

Jason.

Hi Jason,

if you look at the generated profiles in INTEGRATE.LP do they seem reasonable ?
Does XSCALE.LP produce reasonable I/SigI statistics and expected Rvalues ? If 
not this might be another hint at wrong cell/spacegroup perhaps.
You can try collecting spots from your whole data set with SPOT_RANGE= [start 
frame] [end frame] and then index the data. If you get too many strong spots 
you can select the top 5000 from SPOT.XDS.
Is the oscillation correct in your script ?

Jürgen

P.S. we just collected some data on a 460Å cell

Hi,

I have a crystal with a large unit cell in P21221 (a=134 b=151 c=276) and I'm 
wondering if I have a problem with overlaps.  I have a native dataset, and am 
trying to get phases.  I've collected a Pt soak data set on our home source 
with a 0.5˚ oscillation angle, but the anomalous signal drops off after about 
8Å.  I am wondering if this is a problem due to overlaps at higher resolution.

The Pt dataset has been integrated with XDS, and there don't seem to be too 
many rejects, but looking at FRAME.CBF it looks like the predicted spots are 
overlapping at higher resolution.  You can see a zoomed-in part of FRAME.CBF 
here:

Should I be concerned with this?  The crystal mosaicity from XDS is 0.25, so 
fairly low.  What can I do about this, should I try smaller oscillation angles?

Thanks,

Jason.
