Re: [phenixbb] NCS/pseudo-symmetry

Hi Bashir, it looks like tNCS is correctly accounted for by Phaser; your native Patterson map has a peak at {0.157 -0.000 -0.333}, which corresponds to the translation vector between your two molecules in solution 1. Your problem here is probably related to this warning: Warning: The composition you have entered gives a solvent content of 87%, which is extremely unlikely. You should increase the composition. You don't have a complete crystal lattice in your model. Check near the top of the Phaser log file for the Matthews coefficient calculation, which will suggest the most probable multiples of your input molecular weight. You can also calculate these probabilities with the ccp4 program matthews_coeff or Bernard Rupps server at http://www.ruppweb.org/mattprob/default.html.

*Got the following warnings:*

WARNINGS --------

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Warning: Intensity moments suggest possibility of twinning. Tests based on possible twin laws will be more definitive. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Warning: The composition you have entered gives a solvent content of 87%, which is extremely unlikely. You should increase the composition.

After running xtraige for the .mtz, I get this warning about NCS

Frac. coord. : 0.157 -0.000 -0.333

Distance to origin : 119.294

Height relative to origin : 33.056 %

p_value(height) : 8.504e-04.

Translational pseudo-symmetry is very likely present in these data. Be aware that this will change the intensity statistics and may impact subsequent analyses, and in practice may lead to higher R-factors in refinement.

Upon an attempt at initial refinement with different stratageis, the R-fators are stuck at

Start R-work = 0.5066, R-free = 0.5233

Final R-work = 0.4831, R-free = 0.4965

The question is that there is something that is not being recognized for example merohedral twinning or that the NCS/pseudosymmetry is not being addressed

correctly. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Regards;

Bashir
