Hi every,
Thanks a lot for your reply! Actually I am pretty confusing
here about the using of different space groups.
The.mtz file I am using now as the input file for phaser is in space
group P3. Phaser gave me the first four solutions like I mentioned in
last email, but failed at the 5th one. Then I realized there might be
something wrong with the space group or the data. I used Phenix.xtriage
to re-analyze my data (P3 space group). Merohedral twinning and
pseu-translational symmetry were found as following,
Statistics depending on twin laws

| Operator | type | R obs. | Britton alpha | H alpha | ML alpha |
------------------------------------------------------------------
| -h,-k,l | M | 0.738 | -0.137 | 0.000 | 0.022 |
| h,-h-k,-l | M | 0.047 | 0.390 | 0.429 | 0.478 |
| -k,-h,-l | M | 0.746 | -0.143 | 0.000 | 0.022 |
------------------------------------------------------------------
"The analyses of the Patterson function reveals a significant off-origin
peak that is 82.25 % of the origin peak, indicating pseudo translational
symmetry."
Also, The analysis indicates P 3 2 1 and its alternatives P31 2 1 and
P32 2 1 might be the correct space group. Then I used the Sort/reindex
MTZ fils module to change the space group to P 3 2 1. I forced Phaser to
use P 3 2 1 as the space group to search for more solutions with the
four solutions already found fixed. But I didn't get any better result.
I used phenix.xtriage to analyze the data in P 3 2 1. It indicates there
might be one twinning operator,but different tests gave different
answers.But there is still a pseudo-translational symmetry.

symmetry."
I have a couple of question now
1)Do I need go back to HKL2000 and redo the index,integrate and scale.
Since the .sca and .mtz I have now is in P3. I don't know whether the
unit cell dimension is going to change if I redo it in P3 2 1.
2)what does the pseudo-translational symmetry actually means? I don't
quite understand this concept and what should I do about it?
This is a really long email. I appreciate your attention very much.
