The convention for "P22121"s is P21212, which is used by both CNS and CCP4 and many else, if not all. The unit cell needs to be reindexed (a-b-c --> b-c-a in your case). Then please try again. Lijun > Thank you for your suggestions. > 1. The unit cell of my crystal is 47.41 99.67 114.97 90 90

Hi Haitao, I need to ask you a few questions first: 1. Did you mean you could not solve your structure by molecular replacement? Did you compare your crystal's unit cell with the PDB file? Are they significantly different? If the assymetric unit has more than one monomer, have you tried doing

Dear all, I repeated a protein crystallization which is reported in PDB with the almost same condition, and got a 2.6A data. But the problem is that I can not determine the right phases with neither CCP4 nor CNS. Then I found the protein in my crystal had been degraded from ~30kD to ~20kD by SDS-

Probably because in the classic implementation it is redundant, D being derived directly from sigmaa. Some programs refine D and sigmaa (or equivalent terms, such as Lunin's alpha and beta) separately. This is conceptually equivalent to deriving D from sigmaa and refining the scale between Fo
