For two projects in the distant past, we dealt with tNCS by initially telling lies to the software (1szp and 3pkz). The tNCS was strong enough that there was a clear weak/dark pattern in the diffraction pattern, so for the initial molecular replacement we used a data set in the smaller unit cel

Donghyuk The combination of two things gives me cause for concern: 1. You've reindexed something that apparently scaled OK in point group 622 into point group 2, with a smaller cell. Since it's hard to fake that sort of data agreement in 622, I assume your data is at the very least pseudo-62

Dear Donghyuk, Unfortunately, everything is possible when NCS, twinning etc. get into the game. I do not have answers, but some questions for you to think about: - Do you really have 6 twinning operators, or only one operator and are the other operators generated by (non)crystallographic symmetr

Dear Jacob Keller and Vipul, Thank you both very much for the reply. Regarding the R-values, I am just wondering whether the huge gap between refinements w/ w/o twin operator can be possible even the crystal is not twinned? Best wishes, Donghyuk

Dear all, Thanks to Vincent, Eleanor, herman and others! It turns out I've managed to sort it out a different way - the initial TFZ of 10 with cutout density and resultant map was a bit underwhelming and indicative of an issue - so I cut my ~140ang long molecule in half and searched with densit

Hi Donghyuk, I feel you went ahead with right strategy. For 2.1 A datasrt, the appropriate drop in Rfree/ Rwork is a strong indicator, i believe. If you have already build all possible model, using tls can be of further help. Cheers, Vipul On Thu 10 Jan, 2019, 3:52 PM Donghyuk Shin Dear all,

Dear Andy, for the I222 crystal, you mention a large difference in diffracting resolution, but staraniso doesn't help. Maybe you simply don't have anisotropy, but rather lack of completeness in high resolution shells, a different problem. How much is the anisotropy value given by Phaser? I g
