Dear Abishek, shadows should be excluded from processing since the outlier rejection algorithms cannot distinguish between weak and shadowed reflections! In XDS, you could use a generous static mask (UNTRUSTED_*), or a dynamic mask as specified by FILTER.HKL. HTH, Kay On Thu, 27 Apr 2017 2

Dear Abhishek, This looks very like the goniometer shadowing we have seen from the mini Kappa goniometer on I04 at DLS. DIALS (and xia2) now support dynamic shadow masking, although a model for the goniometer shadowing needs to be coded in the detector "format class" in order for it to work. We

Depends on the geometry of the goniometer/pin relative to the X-ray beam. If the pin is too close, it will possibly cast a shadow. If the pin is aligned at a shallow angle relative to the X-ray source beam, the pin or the goniometer may get in the way regardless of how far away the crystal is from

Hello Everyone, We included 10 mM EDTA in our Ni-NTA and gel filtration buffers to prevent aggregation of our protein, as suggested by the literature (indeed, excluding EDTA led to precipitation during the concentration steps). In the presence of 10 mM EDTA, we were able to concentrate the protein

Does the self-rotation function suggest presence of NCS axes? If so, this may help you figure out the symmetry inside the a.u.. If you haven't done so already, try diffracting a crystal at room temperature, to make sure cryo-protection and freezing did not affect the diffraction. In any case, at
