Space group operators can be found here: http://www.embl-hamburg.de/~pinotsis/spacegroup.html
The crystallographic toolbox is at [1]. Its predecessor, SgInfo, is here.
Facts about space groups[edit | edit source]
There are 230 space groups, 65 of which accessible to proteins.
Empirically, P212121 is the space group which occurs most often (23%) in the PDB; second place is P21 with 14.4%, then comes C2 (9.0%) ( [2]).
Reflection conditions[edit | edit source]
These are explained and listed in Section 2.2.13 of International Tables of Crystallography, Volume A . If this is not on your desk, check out the IUCr wiki:
Reflection_conditions which explains the topic, and links to lists of the general absences in article integral reflection conditions, and the absences along the screw axes in serial reflection conditions.
