Hi,

The recent discussion on Rwork/Rfree ratio reminded me of something I was 
wondering about (*).  When counting constraints as observations for determining 
the observation to parameter ratio, is each unique constraint counted, or each 
time a given constraint is used.  For example, if there are 4 carbon oxygen 
bonds (assuming the same parameters, let's say serine beta-carbon to serine 
gamma-oxygen), would this count as 4 constraints as observations, or 1?

Intuitively, it seems to me like it should be counting unique constraints 
(although as near as I can tell these aren't listed in refmac5 logfiles).  But 
I don't have a clear explanation for why, and of course I could be wrong on 
this.  


Thanks,


Pete
