Tetartohedral twinning could happen to you too

چکیده
Tetartohedral crystal twinning is discussed as a particular case of (pseudo)merohedral twinning when the number of twinned domains is four. Tetartohedrally twinned crystals often possess pseudosymmetry, with the rotational part of the pseudosymmetry operators coinciding with the twinning operators. Tetartohedrally twinned structures from the literature are reviewed and the recent structure determination of tetartohedrally twinned triclinic crystals of human complement factor I is discussed.

Likelihood-based molecular-replacement solution for a highly pathological crystal with tetartohedral twinning and sevenfold translational noncrystallographic symmetry
Translational noncrystallographic symmetry (tNCS) is a pathology of protein crystals in which multiple copies of a molecule or assembly are found in similar orientations. Structure solution is problematic because this breaks the assumptions used in current likelihood-based methods. To cope with such cases, new likelihood approaches have been developed and implemented in Phaser to account for th...
متن کاملANS complex of St John’s wort PR-10 protein with 28 copies in the asymmetric unit: a fiendish combination of pseudosymmetry with tetartohedral twinning
Hyp-1, a pathogenesis-related class 10 (PR-10) protein from St John's wort (Hypericum perforatum), was crystallized in complex with the fluorescent probe 8-anilino-1-naphthalene sulfonate (ANS). The highly pseudosymmetric crystal has 28 unique protein molecules arranged in columns with sevenfold translational noncrystallographic symmetry (tNCS) along c and modulated X-ray diffraction with inten...
متن کامل"You never told me that could happen!" Consent and litigation: how to avoid it.
It certainly can seem that whenever something goes wrong, patients want to sue the individual concerned. If they cannot show that the doctor was negligent in the procedure that was performed, they often claim that “you never told me that could happen”. To help avoid litigation in this area, three factors should be considered: (1) What you tell the patient; (2) How you tell them; and (3) What yo...

Consider for a moment that the school system paid someone to be with you supporting you 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. Now, imagine that you had no say over who that support person was or how she or he supported you. Or imagine that someone regularly stopped into your place of employment to provide you with one-on-one support. This person was present for all your interactions, escorted you to th...
متن کاملWhy is lifetime fertility higher in twinning women?
In a recent paper published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, Robson & Smith (RS) presented an analysis of a database comprising the life histories of more than 50 000 women born in the nineteenth century UT, USA. They addressed the question of whether a woman's likelihood of producing twins is related to overall phenotypic 'quality' [1]. Controlling for a number of confounding factors, th...
