Hi I have discovered that my data in the P3 spacegroup is potentially twinned. Truncate and phenix.xtriage indicate that the twin fraction is pretty high ( between 0.35 and 0.42).
I am still new to twinned data refinement and still dont know which twin law to pick from the three possibilities for P3 that xtriage lists.
I am emailing because , Regardless of the twin law I try , phenix.refine crashes with a Segmentation fault on my Mac Pro leopard 10.5.2 running phenix. 1.3b-rc6
The command that ends with a Python crash and segmentation fault is
Command used:
phenix.refine cy_p10_2_28.1.pdb cy_p10_2_28.1_unique1.mtz simulated_annealing=true model.ncs refinement.main.ncs=true --overwrite refinement.ncs.excessive_distance_limit=None strategy=group_adp+individual_sites twin_law='-h,-k,l' refinement.input.xray_data.labels=F_p10-2,SIGF_p10-2 > phenix_run2_mhmkl_simulanneal.log
phenix.xtriage outputs
