  3. Initial Data Entry

  4. The Screening Interface

  5. Beam Center Predetermination How many images should I collect? Symmetry results based on… One Image Two images 90° apart True Beam Center Conventional Autoindexing Orthorhombic (correct) Monoclinic (not quite correct) 0.5 mm Wrong Indexing No Indexing

  6. Fix Misindexing With LABELIT • Common experience: the predicted pattern looks almost right, but something is “funny” • Systematic absence of h + k odd • Easily detected and corrected, once the problem is recognized

  7. Characterize the diffraction pattern DISTL (Ashley Deacon, SSRL) 5 seconds Integrate MOSFLM 20 seconds Data Processing Sequence Final Score Success Resolution cutoff Mosaic spread RMS residual Good strategy Few overlaps No ice rings Well-shaped spots Minimal diffuse scatter Short exposure time Autoindex Determine Bravais lattice Collect 2 oscillation frames 90° apart LABELIT 15 seconds • Heuristic score within each group: • score = 1 – (.7*e– 4/resolution) – (1.5*rmsResidual) – (.02*mosaicity) • Representative results: protein Syrrx-004

  8. Provide automation by linking separate modules Genomics Project Data Repository Screening Crystal Selection Data Collection Data Reduction Analysis Individual Lab • Anticipate scenarios where modules work together Fluorescence Scan Screen All Crystals Score Strategy Single- Wavelength Anomalous Dispersion Anomalous Signal Each Image Cumu- lative Inverse Beam Collection Heavy-Atom Search Eliminate Sample Heavy-Atom Refinement Software Goals
