There are a couple of tricks I know for dealing with datasets that are problematic to index (ignore if you've tried them): 1. double-check the machine parameters (detector to crystal distance and beam center in particular). 2. Index in mosflm using widely separated images (usually n,n+45,n+90

Jason, How does the diffraction pattern look? Do you see multiple lattices or split spots? It seems to me that XDS isn't able to index it (correctly) possibly because of these things. It's always worth it to manually page through your images just to confirm. I've personally seen people just use X

Hi, I have a diffraction data-set from a hexagonal rod shaped crystal, to about 2.0 Å. The problem comes when I try to process the data - Mosflm won't index it, and XDS indexes it as P622, but the unit cell is too small to contain even a single molecule of my protein. I have tried integrating
