Garib,

Many thanks for pointing out the differences. A couple of more questions:

1. Could you tell me how 5.4.0033 by default handled the free and missing reflections in map calculation. Also, is the ccp4i interface suitable for the latest version of refmac --- I add the extra keywords (like anom formfactor) in an "extra-param" file.

2. In version 5.4.0066 version I noticed this line in the log file:

         Before the second run
         Unknown atom for fprime and f2prime calculation

I didn't receive this error in the older version. Please explain. I'm only specifying f' and f'' for the Selenium.

Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark

Could you please try again.
you are right. In case when you gave anom formfactor then f' was added twice. In this version f' is added correctly. In the previous version it was added in wrong place.

Geometry is tighter because we have fixed few bugs related with chirality and vdw.

Thanks for those pointing out my cut and paste error. Below are the correct numbers. The first term of the formfactor is almost twice as high compared to the other version. I suspect it is because the newer version is using the wavelength in the calculation, and the old version didn't.

Any help from the authors would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Well, I guess one shouldn't change versions of refmac in the middle of a structure refinement. What are the major differences between .0034 and .0066 ? I noted that form factors for the Se atom have changed dramatically even though I'm using the same " anom formfactor SE -8.13 5.05 " command. Is this because the program is now using the wavelength on the .MTZ file ?

with .0034:

SE 8.8706 2.4098 5.8196 0.2726 3.9731 15.2372 4.3543 43.8163 2.8409

with .0066:

SE 17.0006 2.4098 5.8196 0.2726 3.9731 15.2372 4.3543 43.8163 -11.7969

The other major difference is that explicit weight that I was using = 0.25 is weighting the geometry much more in .0066 compared with .0034. Also the refinement is not as well behaved as it was in 0.0034.

What has really changed?

Mark
