[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.

Best wishes

Kevin
