Dear Catarina,

When TLS is involved in refinement using a script, the keyword "tlsout addu" should be added to produce a coordinate file containing the full B factor. The latest REFMAC interface (in CCP4i) has a button "Add TLS contribution to XYZOUT" in the folder of TLS Parameters which will add this keyword.

There are three ways to convert file so it contains full B factors:

1. You can convert your PDB file so it contains full B factors using the server at http://deposit.rcsb.org/adit/REFMAC.html

2. Convert locally using the script at http://deposit-beta.rcsb.org/tlsanl/tlsanl_script.csh

Run tlsanl_script.csh pdbfile
(note: CCP4 should be installed on your local machine prior to running the script)

3. Convert using CCP4i package

* Find the file of TLS parameters TLSOUT that corresponds to the coordinate file, or if necessary extract the TLS parameters from the PDB file using the CCP4 program tlsextract

* Use CCP4's tlsanl to put the full B factor in the PDB coordinate file, available in the GUI interface as the task "Analyse TLS parameters". Be sure to set the keyword BRESID T in this interface.

Please let us know if we can be of any further help.

Sincerely,
Rachel Green

Dear all,
I am trying to deposit a pdb containing TLS groups. PDB instructions states: "As we have mentioned on the start page for autodep, entries refined using REFMAC with TLS parameters must now contain the full B-factor in ATOM/HETATM records, with the TLS contribution coded into ANISOU records." I did run Refmac with TLS parameters and, as such, I would expect that all the values necessary to pdb deposition would be on the pdb coming out from refmac. However, when I deposit the pdb a 'serious error' comes up, not allowing me to deposit the coordinates: "You will NOT be allowed to proceed for deposition unless these issues are corrected.
*TLS and ANISOU/RESIDUAL B-FACTORS.*
As we have mentioned on the start page for autodep, entries refined using REFMAC with TLS parameters must now contain the full B-factor in ATOM/HETATM records, with the TLS contribution coded into ANISOU records.Your entry contains TLS records but no ANISOU records OR Residual B-factors. Please correct this and reupload your structure for validation" I don't really understand why these supposed missing values are not already contained in the pdb file, and I can't figure out how to get them. Does anyone knows how to fix this situation?
Thanks in advance!
Catarina Silva
