Detecting NCS

• Calculate V_M (is there room?)

• Compute self-rotation function

• Compute native Patterson map

  • translational NCS

• Evidence of NCS in heavy atom sites

• Copies of similar density

• Room in packing diagram (molecular replacement)

• Intercept in s_A plot indicating incomplete model
