Multi-crystal symmetry analysis and scaling with DIALS

Introduction

Recent additions to DIALS and xia2 have enabled multi-crystal analysis to be performed following integration. These tools are particularly relevant for analysis of many partial-datasets, which may be the only practical way of performing data collections for certain crystals. After integration, the space group symmetry can be investigated by testing for the presence of symmetry operations relating the integrated intensities of groups of reflections - the program to perform this is analysis is dials.symmetry (with algorithms similar to those of the program Pointless). Another thing to consider is that for certain space groups (polar space groups), there is an inherent ambiguity in the way that the diffraction pattern can be indexed. In order to combine multiple datasets from these space groups, one must reindex all data to a consistent setting, which can be done with the program dials.cosym (see Gildea and Winter for details). Finally, the data must be scaled, to correct for experimental effects such as differences in crystal size/illuminated volume and radiation damage - this can be done with the program dials.scale (with algorithms similar to those of the program Aimless). After the data has been scaled, choices can then be made about applying a resolution limit to exclude certain regions of the data which may be negatively affected by radiation damage.

In this tutorial, we shall investigate a multi-crystal dataset collected on the VMXi beamline, Diamond’s automated facility for data collection from crystallisation experiments in-situ. The dataset consists of four repeats of a 60-degree rotation measurement on a crystal of Proteinase K, taken at different locations on the crystal. We shall start with the integrated reflections and experiments files generated by running the automated processing software xia2 with pipeline=dials. Have a look at the Processing in Detail tutorial if you want to know more about the different processing steps up to this point.

Note

To obtain the data for this tutorial you can run dials.data get vmxi_proteinase_k_sweeps. If you are at Diamond Light Source on BAG training then the data are already available. After typing module load bagtraining you’ll be moved to a working folder, with the data already located in the tutorial-data/ccp4/integrated_files subdirectory. The processing in this tutorial will produce quite a few files, so it’s recommended to make an move to new directory:

mkdir multi_crystal
cd multi_crystal

xia2.multiplex

The easiest way to run these tools for a multi-dataset analysis is through the program xia2.multiplex. This runs several DIALS programs, including the programs described above, while producing useful plots and output files.

To run xia2.multiplex, we must provide the path to the input integrated files from dials.integrate:

xia2.multiplex experiments_0.expt experiments_1.expt experiments_2.expt experiments_3.expt reflections_0.refl reflections_1.refl reflections_2.refl reflections_3.refl

This runs dials.cosym to analyse the Laue symmetry and reindex all datasets consistently, scales the data with dials.scale, calculates a resolution limit with dials.estimate_resolution and reruns dials.scale with the determined resolution cutoff. The final dataset is exported to an unmerged mtz and a HTML report is generated. The easiest way to see the results is to open the HTML report in your browser of choice e.g.:

firefox xia2.multiplex.html

Provided is a summary of the merging statistics as well as several plots, please explore these for a few minutes now! This dataset results in good merging statistics, however if you navigate to the “Analysis by batch” tab in “All data”, you will see that the fourth dataset has poorer statistics compared to the others. Let’s repeat the processing manually to explore the different steps and address this issue.

As you can see, the \(P\,4/m\,m\,m\) Patterson group is found with the highest confidence. For the corresponding space group, the mirror symmetries are removed to give \(P\,4\,2\,2\), as the chiral nature of macromolecules means we have a restricted choice of space groups. In this example, all datasets were indexed consistently, but this is not the case in general.

Next, the data can be scaled:

dials.scale symmetrized.expt symmetrized.refl

From the merging statistics it is clear that the data quality is good out to the furthest resolution (\(CC_{1/2} > 0.3\)), which can be confirmed by a resolution analysis:

For exploring the scaling results, a wide variety of scaling and merging plots can be found in the dials.scale.html report generated by dials.scale.

As mentioned previously, the fourth dataset is giving significantly higher R-merge values and much lower I/sigma. Therefore the question one must ask is if it is better to exclude this dataset. We can get some useful information about the agreement between datasets by running the program dials.compute_delta_cchalf.

It looks like we could get a significantly better \(CC_{1/2}\) by excluding the final dataset - it has a negative \(\Delta CC_{1/2}\). But how bad is too bad that it warrants exclusion? Unfortunately this is a difficult question to answer and it may be the case that one would need to refine several structures with different data excluded to properly address this question. If we had many datasets and only a small fraction had a very large negative \(\Delta CC_{1/2}\) then one could argue that these measurements are not drawn from the same population as the rest of the data and should be excluded.

To see the effect of removing the last dataset (dataset ‘3’), we can rerun dials.scale (note that this will overwrite the previous scaled files):

The overall merging statistics look significantly improved and therefore one would probably proceed with the first three datasets:

Resolution:         68.40 - 1.78  > 68.40 - 1.79
Observations:       222563        > 166095
Unique reflections: 16534         > 16285
Redundancy:         13.5          > 10.2
Completeness:       68.18%        > 67.56%
Mean intensity:     45.3          > 46.0
Mean I/sigma(I):    25.0          > 26.1
R-merge:            0.132         > 0.059
R-meas:             0.136         > 0.062
R-pim:              0.033         > 0.017

We could have also excluded a subset of images, for example using the option exclude_images=3:301:600 to exclude the last 300 images of dataset 3. This option could be used to exclude the end of a dataset that was showing sigificant radiation damage, or if the crystal had moved out of the beam part-way through the measurement.

It is also worth checking the assigned space group using dials.symmetry. In dials.cosym, only the Laue/Patterson group was tested to determine a space group of \(P\,4\,2\,2\). However, a number of other MX space groups are possible for the Laue group (due to the possibility of screw-axes), such as \(P\,4\,2_1\,2\), \(P\,4_1\,2\,2\) etc. The screw-axes tests are performed by dials.symmetry, and we can disable the Laue group testing as we are already confident about this:

By analysing the sets of reflections we expect to be present and absent, the existence of the \(4_1\) and \(2_1\) screw axes are confirmed, hence the space group is assigned as \(P\,4_1\,2_1\,2\). Note that we can do this analysis before or after scaling, as we only need to know the Laue group for scaling, however it is preferable to do this after scaling as outliers may have been removed by scaling.

Finally, we must merge the data and produce an MTZ file for downstream structure solution:

 ML estimate of overall B value:
   12.47 A**2
 Estimated -log of scale factor:
   -2.89
 The overall B value ("Wilson B-factor", derived from the Wilson plot) gives
 an isotropic approximation for the falloff of intensity as a function of
 resolution.  Note that this approximation may be misleading for anisotropic
 data (where the crystal is poorly ordered along an axis).  The Wilson B is
 strongly correlated with refined atomic B-factors but these may differ by
 a significant amount, especially if anisotropy is present.

                    ----------Anisotropy analyses----------


 For the resolution shell spanning between 1.93 - 1.78 Angstrom,
 the mean I/sigI is equal to  4.79. 58.1 % of these intensities have
 an I/sigI > 3. When sorting these intensities by their anisotropic
 correction factor and analysing the I/sigI behavior for this ordered
 list, we can gauge the presence of 'anisotropy induced noise amplification'
 in reciprocal space.

 The quarter of Intensities *least* affected by the anisotropy correction show

    <I/sigI>                 :   5.15e+00
    Fraction of I/sigI > 3   :   6.23e-01     ( Z =     1.87 )
  The quarter of Intensities *most* affected by the anisotropy correction show

    <I/sigI>                 :   3.70e+00
    Fraction of I/sigI > 3   :   4.58e-01     ( Z =     5.60 )
 Z-scores are computed on the basis of a Bernoulli model assuming independence
 of weak reflections with respect to anisotropy.

                        ----------Wilson plot----------

 The Wilson plot shows the falloff in intensity as a function in resolution;
 this is used to calculate the overall B-factor ("Wilson B-factor") for the
 data shown above.  The expected plot is calculated based on analysis of
 macromolecule structures in the PDB, and the distinctive appearance is due to
 the non-random arrangement of atoms in the crystal.  Some variation is
 natural, but major deviations from the expected plot may indicate pathological
 data (including ice rings, detector problems, or processing errors).

 The following resolution shells are worrisome:
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
  | Mean intensity by shell (outliers)                            |
  |---------------------------------------------------------------|
  | d_spacing     | z_score       | completeness  | <Iobs>/<Iexp> |
  |---------------------------------------------------------------|
  |     2.033     |    4.79       |    0.76       |      0.822    |
  -----------------------------------------------------------------

 Possible reasons for the presence of the reported unexpected low or elevated
 mean intensity in a given resolution bin are :
   - missing overloaded or weak reflections
   - suboptimal data processing
   - satellite (ice) crystals
   - NCS
   - translational pseudo symmetry (detected elsewhere)
   - outliers (detected elsewhere)
   - ice rings (detected elsewhere)
   - other problems
 Note that the presence of abnormalities in a certain region of reciprocal
 space might confuse the data validation algorithm throughout a large region
 of reciprocal space, even though the data are acceptable in those areas.

 p(wilson)  : 1-(erf[|E|/sqrt(2)])
 p(extreme) : 1-(erf[|E|/sqrt(2)])^(n_acentrics)


 p(wilson) is the probability that an E-value of the specified
 value would be observed when it would selected at random from
 the given data set.
 p(extreme) is the probability that the largest |E| value is
 larger or equal than the observed largest |E| value.

 Both measures can be used for outlier detection. p(extreme)
 takes into account the size of the dataset.


                 ----------Ice ring related problems----------

 The following statistics were obtained from ice-ring insensitive resolution
 ranges:

    mean bin z_score      : 1.40
        ( rms deviation   : 1.14 )
    mean bin completeness : 0.86
        ( rms deviation   : 0.29 )

 The following table shows the Wilson plot Z-scores and completeness for
 observed data in ice-ring sensitive areas.  The expected relative intensity
 is the theoretical intensity of crystalline ice at the given resolution.
 Large z-scores and high completeness in these resolution ranges might
 be a reason to re-assess your data processsing if ice rings were present.

  -------------------------------------------------------------
 Abnormalities in mean intensity or completeness at resolution ranges with a
 relative ice ring intensity lower than 0.10 will be ignored.
 No ice ring related problems detected.
 If ice rings were present, the data does not look worse at ice ring related
 d_spacings as compared to the rest of the data set.
