My understanding is that ML functions in the presence of pseudo-translational 
symmetry are suboptimal (see a very short discussion in Acta Cryst. (2011). 
D67, 355–367. Acta Cryst. (2008). D64, 99–107 is also a good reading).
Having said that if your crystal/dataset exhibits twinning on top of 
pseduo-translation you should activate the twin refinement option in Refmac.

Dear all,

Can I use the "twin refinement" to refine the pesudo-translational symmetry 
dataset?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Best wishes,
