Dear All, An updated ccp4i interface to Refmac 5.6 is available at:
http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/prerelease/refmac5_task_for_ccp4_6.2.tar.gz You can do "System Administration -> Install/uninstall Tasks" from the GUI, or just copy the individual files from the tarball to the $CCP4/ccp4i area. This interface includes jelly-body, local NCS and map sharpening. It will be in the imminent CCP4 6.2.0 HTH Martyn On Sat, 2011-07-09 at 12:44 +0200, Robbie Joosten wrote: > Dear Qixu, > > > > refamac 5.6 works well at these resolutions.
