I've used phenix.xtriage and it showed that in all three cases i.e. (P31,P61 & P6122 space groups) "translational pseudosymmetry is very likely present). Again, when I used molrep in ccp4,it showed "translational pseudosymmetry is detected".

Hi, to remove 'some of the voodoo' out of it, we recently published a paper showing a really fast_and_easy (and cheap) technique to check HA binding on cysteines. One of the most interesting result was that we could see binding of mercury and gold on 1 protein, but not platinum. We didn't try to e
