Apologies for not replying sooner. CCTBX does in fact contain c++ as well as python. But I should have been more careful in my searching, the missing routines are in fact in the x-windows/xdlgjk CCP4 directory. Sorry again for the mistake. Adam On Fri, 2 Oct 2009, Nathaniel Echols wrote: > On

[ccp4bb] pointless, hi and low resolution

Hi there, I am integrating, with imosflm, a datset divided high and low resolution datasets. I first integrated the high resolution one in C2, but after running Pointless it suggested I121. The same happened during the low-resolution data integration, but the cell parameters are slightly diff

Hi Charlie, The bending of needles is hard to avoid :) My advice is to investigate different areas of the needle using finely focused beam - in particular focus on the protruding end and on the area inside the loop. The protruding area is particularly good since it has the least solvent attached t

Dear Ariel I2 (== I 1 2 1) is the same space group as C 2, but with a different setting of the h & l axes. You can use either, or you can force Pointless to choose the C2 setting Best wishes Phil On 6 Oct 2009, at 14:53, Ariel Talavera wrote: Hi there, I am integrating, with imosflm, a

I  must agree that the less stressed part of a needle may be the end not contacting the loop or meniscus, but protrudes out the end/top.  One can carefully manipulate the crystal so that it is not parallel with the pin either by having a bent loop or setting the crystal slightly diagonal to the
