Re: [ccp4bb] Shifting twin fraction with refinement - finally zero

A few comments - you dont give your cell dimensions but if they are more or less the same for the P212121 and P43 21 2 I dont see how a 43 set of absences can turn into a 21 set .. However if there is non-crystallographic translation, then absences an mislead.. Is that true for you - Tw

I think your procedure is good with current technology. At early stages twin refinement may give misleading results. An intuitive resoning for low R factor would be: Twin is summation of intensities. As you sum intensities two things happen: 1) distribution of intensities become more symmet

Hello Garib, I was using the ouput from a refmac run for the next round and using what I thought were the original fobs . So I guess as you said at each round I was using the de-twinned result from the previous round. I will repeat these refinements with the original scala output mtz to get a more

Hari, What twin tests have you run? Results? If your data really is P43212 and you drop to P212121 you will still have the additional two-fold operator in your data. An operator is a mathematical operator, which could be crystallographic or twin. I never refine a structure with twin

And another (not so) minor point: Defferences between R/Rfree with twin on and off suggest that there is strong correlation between twin and NCS. For this cases better dealt with if you use twin refinement with sufficiently strong NCS restraints. In new refmac (www.ysbl.york.ac.uk/refmac/

You may be using output reflection data from the previous cycle of refinement for the next session. After twin refinement output Fobs (confusingly) may be detwinned. You can try to use original reflection data file (e.g. after scala/truncate/freerflag) and for refinement and it may clarif

I am refining a twinned dataset in possible spacegroup P212121 . Pointless thinks it is P43212 , but based on reading this posting ( http://www.phenix-online.org/pipermail/phenixbb/2007-September/000501.html) I think it is P212121. The starting R/Rfree after molecular replacement ( single site mu
