What is P212121 space group?
What is P212121 space group?
Image Courtesy: PymolWiki. It is a fact that there is a non-uniformity with which different space groups occur in protein crystals. For example, the space group P212121 is the most frequent in protein crsytals and occurs almost one-third of the time!!!
What are two dimensional space groups?

What is space group symmetry?
Space-group symmetry is a combination of the translational symmetry of a lattice together with other symmetry elements such as rotation and/or screw axes.
What is C2 space group?
Centred space groups involve additional lattice translations in addition to those of the whole unit-cell lattice translations as exhibited by the simplest space group P1. The space group C2/c can be considered as a combination of a C-centred lattice with space group P2/c (or alternatively space group P21/n).
What are the 230 space groups?
The space groups are numbered from 1 to 230 and are classified here according to the 7 crystal systems: triclinic, monoclinic, orthorhombic, tetragonal, trigonal, hexagonal, and cubic.
How many crystal systems are there?
seven crystal systems
In total there are seven crystal systems: triclinic, monoclinic, orthorhombic, tetragonal, trigonal, hexagonal and cubic.
How many space groups are there?
230 space groups
There are 230 space groups in three dimensions, given by a number index, and a full name in Hermann–Mauguin notation, and a short name (international short symbol).
What does space group tell us?
Space Group Notation. The space group symbols used throughout this CD-ROM follow the Hermann-Mauguin notation. The initial letter of a space group symbol represents the lattice type which may primitive (P), single-face centred (A, B, or C), all-face centred (F), body-centred (I), or rhomohedrally centred (R).
What is 2-fold symmetry?
2-fold Rotation Axis – If an object appears identical after a rotation of 180o, that is twice in a 360o rotation, then it is said to have a 2-fold rotation axis (360/180 = 2). A filled hexagon is used as the symbol for a 6-fold rotation axis.
What is the symbol for 2-fold symmetry?
A 2-fold rotoinversion axis is symbolized as a 2 with a bar over the top, and would be pronounced as “bar 2”. But, since this the equivalent of a mirror plane, m, the bar 2 is rarely used.
What is the name of Space Group 19?

How many centrosymmetric space groups are there?
Laue groups are the 11 characteristic centrosymmetric point groups (in yellow) as listed in Table 1677a.
When were space groups first enumerated in three dimensions?
The space groups in three dimensions were first enumerated in 1891 by Fedorov (whose list had two omissions (I 4 3d and Fdd2) and one duplication (Fmm2)), and shortly afterwards in 1891 were independently enumerated by Schönflies (whose list had four omissions (I 4 3d, Pc, Cc,?) and one duplication (P 4 2 1 m)).
Can two space groups have the same affine space group type?
Two space groups, considered as subgroups of the group of affine transformations of space, have the same affine space group type if they are conjugate under an affine transformation. The affine space group type is determined by the underlying abstract group of the space group.
What are the elements of the space group fixing a point?
The elements of the space group fixing a point of space are the identity element, reflections, rotations and improper rotations . The translations form a normal abelian subgroup of rank 3, called the Bravais lattice.
What is the number range for space group types?
The International Union of Crystallography publishes tables of all space group types, and assigns each a unique number from 1 to 230. The numbering is arbitrary, except that groups with the same crystal system or point group are given consecutive numbers.
