<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Hi William,
<div><br>
Yes, that is a good point. I'm not sure which way that goes though...you want the separation small so that adjacent molecules can be found, but large so that more of the long direction is explored. I'd be inclined to go for a relatively small peak separation
based on those considerations.</div>

<div>Hi Tom,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks very much for the tips. I wonder if I need to increase peak separation in case of a long protein?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best,</div>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>For find_ncs_from_density the shape of the molecule itself is not so important. What matters is if there is some local part of the molecule that is recognizable in both copies. So I would try default parameters first. I assume you did that and it didn't
give you a useful answer...so then I would do these things:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1. try many locations : <span style="font-size:10pt">n_center_use=20</span></div>
<div>This is the best option...it will try 20 times using density at 20 different locations to search. If you have an older version of phenix you may need to download a nightly build to do this.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>2. Try varying the resolution</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>3. Try varying the angular spacing of the search (<span style="font-size:10pt">delta_phi)</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>All the best,</div>

<div>Dear all,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What would be the best settings to look for NCS using phenix.find_ncs_from_density on an elongated (~150A) molecule? No coordinate is available unfortunately and there should be 2 copies in a P21 space group.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Many thanks in advance!</div>
<div><br>
