Hi Faisal, CC-half standard is valuable in evaluating the cut-off of highest resolution. Sometimes even if I/sigI is close to 1 and completeness is not as high, if CC-half is still significant, it may be worth incorporate the extra high-res shell data and extend the resolution. Again, if only the reliability and unbias are carefully confirmed, and the apparent significant CC-half is not due to an artifact of some other factors like ice ring etc.(Ref: Karplus PA and Diederichs K. 2012 Science 336, 1030-1033 https://www.pubmed.com/pubmed/22628654) It has yet to be appreciated by most population of the crystallography society, unlike the I/sigI, completeness, Rsym. In particular, Rsym has gradually less a direct measurement of the data quality and or determinant of resolution cut-off. Best,Conan Hongnan Cao, Ph.D.Department of BiochemistryRice University

To: CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK Dear all How CC-half value of a data set determines the maximum resolution limit during data processing ?? Although much we know about the Rsym and I/Isig values of the highest resolution shell while processing the data, what are the parameters we need to check related to CC-half values ?? -- Regards Faisal School of Life Sciences JNU
