Hi Randy,


> As Jacob and others have mentioned, you will always get lower R-factors once you treat the data as being twinned, and the more twin operators the bigger the reduction in R-factors.  

Do normal data with no twinning, but refined with twin operator(s), show similar phenomenon?  If it decreases R-factors for normal data, how much it can achieve (5-10% lower)?

Thanks,


Lan



> So you need very strong evidence, independent of R-factors, to invoke twinning.  In this case, the L-test should be reasonably trustworthy even in the presence of tNCS, and your L-test values are close to what one would expect for an untwinned crystal.  At most you have partial twinning, or perhaps twinning of a pseudo-symmetric crystal (a possibility Phil mentioned), where the effects on intensity statistics are reduced.

You can do this by looking at the crystal packing or at merging statistics for Fcalcs after a refinement with highly restrained NCS.  A similar sort of analysis is automated in the Zanuda tool in CCP4.
