Introduction

Data was collected on 21st February 2020 on beamline 19-ID (SBC-CAT, APS) on a Pilatus3 6M and refined to 2.00 A using Phenix.

Images

We have two sweeps of data with 800 images each, all collected with 0.5 deg/image and 0.5 sec/image. The same caveats/questions as for 6W9C can be applied here: this is high-dose, low-multiplicity, wide-sliced data when ideally we would like to see low-dose, high-multiplicity, fine-sliced data collected on a low-noise pixel-array detector using shutterless data collection.

But this data is even more extreme: we have a typical background count of nearly 300 counts (!) on those images:

m1a2peg-3_00397.png

We could have easily used 1% of the dose going into those 0.5 degree of data ... and together with fine-slicing (to avoid potential spatial overlaps of spots) it would have most likely been a much better approach to avoid radiation damage and achieve higher multiplicity, better scaling and outlier rejection.

(Re)processing

Running autoPROC via

    process -I Images ReverseRotationAxis=yes

gives us some obvious indications regarding the problems of the used collection strategy (looking at the resulting summary.html file):

Sweep 1 Sweep 2
6VXS_02_m1a2peg-2_SPOT.XDS.SpotsPerImage.png 6VXS_02_m1a2peg-2_aimless.mrfana.Rmerge_Rmeas_Rpim_batch.png 6VXS_02_m1a2peg-3_SPOT.XDS.SpotsPerImage.png 6VXS_02_m1a2peg-3_aimless.mrfana.Rmerge_Rmeas_Rpim_batch.png

The number of spots found as a function of image number is rapidly decreasing (and since these are 400 degrees of data in each sweep, we would normally expect to have the sanme number of spots again after having rotated a full 360 degree circle). There are also clearly two very poor sections in each sweep: after about 300 images (150 degrees) in sweep 1 and after about 350 images (175 degrees) in sweep 2:

  • is there some radiation-damage induced change in the crystal packing?
  • or those orientations have spatial overlap (due to wide-slicing)?

Especially sweep 1 also shows an underlying trend of increasing R-values with image number (i.e. dose).

We should probably use only parts of those two sweeps for processing:

Sweep 1 Images 1 - 300 Omega = –280 - –130 (150 degree)
Sweep 2 Images 1 - 350 Omega = –70 - +105 (175 degree)

Those ranges should contain the least damaged parts of the two sweeps and still provide a fairly complete P1 dataset). So running

    process \
      -Id 2a,Images,m1a2peg-2_#####.cbf,1,300 \
      -Id 3a,Images,m1a2peg-3_#####.cbf,1,350 \

In order to analyse for radiation damage (using the F(early)–F(late) map analysis done automatically in [BUSTER https://www.globalphasing.com/buster/), we need to select the relevant "early" and "late" part from the two seeps manually - all assuming that these are collections on different (fresh) parts of the same crystal.

Introduction

Data was collected on 23rd February 2020 on beamline 19-ID (SBC-CAT, APS) on a Pilatus3 6M and refined to 1.50 A using Phenix.

Images

We have 700 images of 0.5 deg/image (i.e. 350 degrees of data) collected with 0.25 sec/image (resulting in rather high average background values of around 60 counts - a recurring theme of over-exposure and wide-slicing it seems). The diffraction quality is rather poor in terms of spot shape:

ADRP_M4_H6_data_00401_center.png

which is visible throughout the image range:

1 101 201 301 401 501 601
ADRP_M4_H6_data_00001_half.png ADRP_M4_H6_data_00101_half.png ADRP_M4_H6_data_00201_half.png ADRP_M4_H6_data_00301_half.png ADRP_M4_H6_data_00401_half.png ADRP_M4_H6_data_00501_half.png ADRP_M4_H6_data_00601_half.png

(Re)processing

Given the poor diffraction quality, we are going to set two additional parameters in autoPROC:

  • a series of settings for complicated datasets (so-called LowResOrTricky macro)
  • restricting indexing to the top 10000 spots
    process \
      -I Images ReverseRotationAxis=yes \
      -M LowResOrTricky \
      RunIdxrefStartWithTop=10000

We get a few warnings about multiple lattices (no surprise), unindexed spots (also no surprise) and overloaded reflections (not surprising given the data collection parameters chosen).

Introduction

Data was collected on 31st March 2020 on beamline 19-ID (SBC-CAT, APS) on a Pilatus3 6M and refined to 1.35 A using REFMAC.

Images

There are two sweeps of data

  ADRP_Pmin_F11_d1_data_#####.cbf   : 1 - 720
  ADRP_Pmin_F11_d1_data2_#####.cbf  : 1 - 200

Both are collected as high-dose (0.25 sec/image) and wide-sliced (0.5 deg/image), but with the second at a much closer distance (157 mm) than the first (300 mm) - because the crystal diffracts rather well.

Introduction

Data was collected on 25th March 2020 on beamline 19-ID (SBC-CAT, APS) on a Pilatus3 6M and refined to 1.07 A using Phenix.

Images

We have 1440 images collected at 0.25 deg/image (so no longer really wide-slicing, but not quite fine-slicing either) with an exposure time of 0.15 sec/image. That gives 360 degrees of data - but still with an exceptionally high average background count:

6WCF_Images_ADRP_MPA_M4_F8_eg_data_00001.png

(my emphasis to draw attention to very high counts in diffraction peak and background). A factor of 50-100 less flux might have been advisable.
