There's nothing wrong with translational NCS. It is what it is ;-0 Best wishes, Jon Cooper. jon.b.coo...@protonmail.com Sent from Proton Mail mobile Original Message On 29 May 2024, 15:49, Kay Diederichs wrote: > Hi Catherine, I think you meant to write "giving high R-factors"

Hi Catherine, I think you meant to write "giving high R-factors". To add to what Esko and Eleanor wrote: There is nothing wrong with your data or spacegroup or refinement; it is just that the tNCS produces two sets of reflections: half or your reflections are statistically "normal" (as if no t

With that translation (x,1/2,1/2) lots of your reflections with k and l Odd will be relatively weak and those zones usually have higher r factors. Look at the plots of reflection zones in hklview and you will probably notice weak and strong zones. The translation will make selecting the soacegrou

Hi Cat, If your pseudo-centering actually leads to significant change in your cumulative intensity distribution, you might have a convincing explanation as to why the R-values would remain on the high side. I had a pseudo-body centered case a long time ago (https://doi.org/10.1107/s09074449

Hi, I have collected data for a protein which solved easily to 1.6 Å using MR. However, during data analysis and refinement it clearly has translational NCS. According to Xtriage on Phenix: Frac. coord.: 0.072, -0.498, 0.5 Distance to origin: 68.798 Height relative to origin: 51.479% p-value (he
