First Aid & PathologyData quality assessment in PHENIX
Peter Zwart
Computational Crystallography Initiative Physical Biosciences Division
Introduction
• Structure solution can be enhanced by the knowledge of the quality and idiosyncrasies of the merged data– Anomalous signal?– Twinning– Pseudo centering
• Data characterization should extend beyond standard quantities as Rmerge and nominal resolution
• A full characterization of a data set might provide expert systems, such as wizards, useful information on how to most optimally solve a structure
Computational Crystallography Initiative Physical Biosciences Division
Introduction
• Xtriage is a program that aims to characterize a merged X-ray dataset– Probabilistic unit cell content analyses– Likelihood based Wilson scaling
• Analyses of mean intensity • Ice ring detection
– Outlier analyses – Twinning / pseudo centering – Anomalous signal

Likelihood based Wilson Scaling
• Both Wilson B and nominal resolution determine the ‘looks’ of the map

Likelihood based Wilson Scaling
• Data can be anisotropic• Traditional ‘straight-line fitting’ not reliable at low
resolution• Solution: Likelihood based Wilson scaling
– Results in estimate of anisotropic overall B value.Zwart, Grosse-Kunstleve & Adams, CCP4 newletter, 2005.

Likelihood based Wilson Scaling
• Likelihood based scaling not extremely sensitive to resolution cut-off, whereas classic straight line fitting is.

Likelihood based Wilson Scaling
• Anisotropy is easily detected and can be ‘corrected’ for.– Useful for molecular
replacement and possibly for substructure solution
• Anisotropy correction cleans up your N(Z) plots
Computational Crystallography Initiative Physical Biosciences Division
Likelihood based Wilson Scaling
• For the ML Wilson scaling an ‘expected Wilson plot’ is needed
• Obtained from over 2000 high quality experimental datasets
• ‘Expected intensity’ and its standard deviation can be obtained -0.7

• Empirical Wilson plots available for protein and DNA/RNA.

Outlier analyses
• Assume amplitudes are distributed according to Wilson distribution
• For a dataset of a given size, the cumulative distribution function of the largest |E| values in the dataset can be used to detect outliers

Pseudo Translational Symmetry
• Can cause problems in refinement and MR– Incorrect likelihood function due to effects of extra
translational symmetry on intensity • Can be helpful during MR
– Effective ASU is smaller is T-NCS info is used.• The presence of pseudo centering can be
detected from an analyses of the Patterson map.– A Fobs Patterson with truncated resolution should
reveal a significant off-origin peak.
Computational Crystallography Initiative Physical Biosciences Division
Pseudo Translational Symmetry
• A database analyses reveal that the height of the largest off-origin peaks in truncated X-ray data set are distributed according to:

Pseudo Translational Symmetry
• 1-F(Qmax): The probability that the largest off origin peak in your Patterson map is not due to translational NCS; This is a so-called p value
• If a significance level of 0.01 is set, all off origin Patterson vectors larger than 20% of the height of the origin are suspected T-NCS vectors.

Twinning
• Merohedral twinning can occur when the lattice has a higher symmetry than the intensities.
• When twinning does occur, the recorded intensities are the sum of two independent intensities.– Normal Wilson statistics break down
• Detect twinning using intensity statistics
Computational Crystallography Initiative Physical Biosciences Division
Twinning
• Cumulative intensity distribution can be used to identify twinning

Twinning
Pseudo centering + twinning = N(Z) looks normal
• Anisotropy in diffraction data produces similar trend to Pseudo centering– Anisotropy can however be removed
• How to detect twinning in presence of T-NCS?– Partition miller indices on basis of detected T-NCS vectors
• Intensities of subgroups follow normal Wilson statistics (approximately)
– Use L-test for twin detection• Not very sensitive to T-NCS if partitioning of miller indices is done
properly. • No need to know twin laws: not sensitive to pseudo symmetry or
certain data processing problems.

Twinning• A data base analyses
on high quality, untwinned datasets reveals that the values of the first and second moment of L follow a narrow distribution
• This distribution can be used to determine a multivariate Z-score– Large values
indicate twinning
Computational Crystallography Initiative Physical Biosciences Division
Twinning
• Determination of twin laws– From first principles
• No twin law will be overlooked• PDB analyses: 36% of structures has at least 1 possible
twin law – 50.9% merohedral; 48.2% pseudo merohedral;0.9% both
• 27% of cases with twin laws has intensity statistics that warrant further investigation on whether or not the data is twinned
– 10% of whole PDB(!)
• Determination of twin fraction– Fully automated Britton and H analyses as well as
ML estimate of twin fraction of basis of L statistic.

Conflicting information
• PDBID: 1???– Unit cell: 99.5 60.9 70.96 90 134.5 90– Space group : C 2– Twin laws and estimated twin fractions:
• H,-K,-H-L : 0.44• H+2L,-K,-L : 0.01• -H-2L, K, H+L : 0.01
– <I2>/<I>2 = 2.10 (theory for untwinned data : 2.0); • Data does not appear to be twinned
– <L> = 0.49 (theory for untwinned data : 0.5); Multivariate Z-score of L test: 0.963
• Data does not appear to be twinned
Computational Crystallography Initiative Physical Biosciences Division
Conflicting information
• What is going on? – Estimated twin fraction is large, but data does
not seem to be twinned: • Twin law H,-K,-H-L is parallel to an existing NCS
axisor
• Twin law H,-K,-H-L is a symmetry axis, and the space group is too low
– It should be : C2 + H,-K,-H-L = F222» http://www.phenix-online.org/cctbx
• Need images to make decision
Computational Crystallography Initiative Physical Biosciences Division
Conflicting information
• A DNA example:– Space group: P65;
• 1 twin law– Resolution: 1.87A
– Native Patterson analyses indicates several significant off-origin peaks
• Intensity statistics indicate pseudo translation symmetry:
– <I^2>/<I>^2 :4.243
– N(Z) plot not very informative

Conflicting information• However
– L test: <L>=0.46; • Data might be twinned.
– Partitioned data might not follow Wilson statistics however.– Britton and H analyses estimate of twin fraction is about 40%
• Wrong spacegroup? – Monomer would not fit in ASU
– Twinning, pseudo symmetry, or both?• Not clear from experimental data only, use deposited coordinates
– Rwork=28%; Rfree=34%– Twin fractions via Britton plot
» From Fcalc: 11% (due to pseudo symmetry only)» From Fobs: 41% (pseudo symmetry + twinning)See Lebedev, Vagin, Murshudov (2006) Acta D62, 83-95.
• Data likely to be twinned. – Difficult to spot due to TPS and RPS effects on intensity statistics
Computational Crystallography Initiative Physical Biosciences Division
Anomalous data
• Structure solution via experimental methods (especially SAD) is on the rise.
• Presence of anomalous signal indicated by a quantity called Measurability:– Fraction of Bijvoet differences for which
• I/I>3 and (I+/I(+) and I(-)/I(-) > 3)
– Easy to interpret• At 3 Angstrom 6% of Bijvoet pairs are significantly larger than
zero
Computational Crystallography Initiative Physical Biosciences Division
Anomalous data
• Measurability and <I/I> are closely related
• Measurability more directly translates to the number of ‘useful’ Bijvoet differences in substructure solution/phasing

Anomalous data
• SAD phasing with PHASER– Very sensitive residual maps
• Residual map indicates where a certain type of anomalous scatterers need to be placed to improve fit between observed and expected F(+) and F(-)
• Lysozyme soaked with solution containing (NH4)2(OsCl6) – Wilson B: 13.7; dmin=1.7– Data collected at Os L-III edge (f”>10) – Measurability at 3.0 is 67%
• Anomalous signal is strong– Partial structure is large
• Zheavy2/(Zheavy

– <FOM>=0.67 (was 0.53)– Residual maps show almost
all non-hydrogen atoms– Inclusion of non hydrogen

Discussion & Conclusions
• Software tools are available to point out specific problems– mmtbx.xtriage <input_reflection_file> [params]
• Log file are not just numbers, but also contains an extensive interpretation of the statistics
• Knowing the idiosyncrasies of your X-ray data might avoid falling in certain pitfalls.– Undetected twinning for instance
