That might be a sign of pseudo-translational symmetry. Check your native patterson. phenix.xtriage will also tell you. In the presence of pseudo-translational symmetry, twinning stats will be hard to interpret. Engin On 9/22/09 12:31 PM, Ben Flath wrote: Hi all when subjecting my data to th

Hi Claudia It really is best to test the cryo condition in an X-ray beam. However, if you don't have access to X-rays in house you could look at the hampton crystallization screen conditions (or another supplier). Find a condition with a similar amount and type of precipitant as you have in your

It might be risky (and silly), but I have done this successfully. I just put a small dewar of liquid N2 under the scope, focussed directly above the surface and looked to see if cryo solutions froze clear or not. The ones that did worked out when we got to the beamline (we'd verified that

Hi Claudia "By eye" is not a bad approximation. The trick I learnt at the JCSG (I forget the originator, sorry) is to suck up some solution in a P2 pipette tip (the clear ones), dip it in lN2, and then hold it just above the lN2 (where it's still cold) to check for clearness or not. Is a go

There is a useful, but out-of-date program in the CCP4 suite called watertidy. it analyses the H2Os and after applying symmetry to move them close to the protein, relabels them according to the protein atom they are closest to So for protein chain A you can output a water chain W where the W

Which compression was used? The packed compression saves a lot of space, but requires much more CPU involvement. The byte offset compression saves less space but takes less CPU time. From the numbers, I would guess it was the packed. = Herbe
