→Space group selected by XDS: ambiguous with respect to enantiomorph and screw axes
| Line 109: | Line 109: | ||
XDS (or rather, the [[CORRECT.LP|CORRECT]] step) makes an attempt to pick the correct space group automatically: it chooses that space group which has the highest symmetry (thus yielding the lowest number of unique reflections) and still a tolerable R<sub>meas</sub> compared to the R<sub>meas</sub> the data have in any space group (which is most likely a low-symmetry space group - often P1). | XDS (or rather, the [[CORRECT.LP|CORRECT]] step) makes an attempt to pick the correct space group automatically: it chooses that space group which has the highest symmetry (thus yielding the lowest number of unique reflections) and still a tolerable R<sub>meas</sub> compared to the R<sub>meas</sub> the data have in any space group (which is most likely a low-symmetry space group - often P1). | ||
In some cases the automatic choice is the correct one, and re-running the [[CORRECT.LP|CORRECT]] step is then not necessary. However, neither the correct enantiomorph nor screw axes (see below) are determined automatically by XDS. | In some cases the automatic choice is the correct one, and re-running the [[CORRECT.LP|CORRECT]] step is then not necessary.
