Thanks all for your suggestions, Here's a little summary of my recent tests. I am currently using "WEIGHT AUTO" and BREF MIXED with a pdb file that contains ANISOU definition for all atoms except hydrogens.
Final results for "BREF MIXED" refinement : Initial Final R factor 0.0880 0.0867 R free 0.0932 0.0925 Rms BondLength 0.0174 0.0189 Rms BondAngle 2.8613 2.8740 Rms ChirVolume 0.1076 0.1146 Final results for "BREF ANISO" refinement: Initial Final R factor 0.0880 0.0874 R free 0.0932 0.0956 Rms BondLength 0.0174 0.0189 Rms BondAngle 2.8613 2.8683 Rms ChirVolume 0.1076 0.1151 In the "WEIGHT AUTO" run refmac5 uses: "Weight matrix 137.7641" Final results for "WEIGHT MATRIX 60" refinement: Initial Final R factor 0.0880 0.0872 R free 0.0932 0.0922 Rms BondLength 0.0174 0.0181 Rms BondAngle 2.8613 2.8632 Rms ChirVolume 0.1076 0.1134 I have just sent Garib different data files so that he can reproduce the problem one can have with H naming/dictionaries definitions. When it happens, from the same initial pdb with "WEIGHT AUTO" and "BREF MIXED" but a differente cif definition (from the latest refmac_dictionary_v5.31) here what it gives: Initial Final R factor 0.0880 0.1820 R free 0.0932 0.1869 Rms BondLength 2.8573 2.3884 Rms BondAngle 35.7010 34.7547 Rms ChirVolume 10.5335 4.2429 I hope it helps to clarify the situation, Cheers, Pierre ________________________________ De : Garib Murshudov [garib.murshu...@gmail.com] de la part de Garib N Murshudov [ga...@mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk] Date d'envoi : vendredi 28 octobre 2011 17:49 À : LEGRAND Pierre Cc : CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK Objet : Re: [ccp4bb] RE : [ccp4bb] refmac 5.6 ccp4 6.2.0 Dear Pierre Resolution seems to be good enough for full anisotropic refinement. Why don't you try this and see if it stabilises refinement. regards Garib On 28 Oct 2011, at 16:22, LEGRAND Pierre wrote: Dear Ed, Not in my case. I still do *restrained* refinement. I use: refi type REST - resi MLKF - meth CGMAT - bref MIXED ncyc 10 blim 0.1 200.0 With both: weight MATRIX 50 or weight AUTO it gives the same problem. I have also tested the latest refmac5 version (Refmac_5.6.0119) and latest dictionaries (refmac_dictionary_v5.31), but it still produce the same error, directly from the first cycle. I can give more details and files off-list if requested.

If it is set to 'auto', try setting it to a specific value and lower that value until the explosion stops. If this happens at low matrix values (at 1.24A it should be way above 5 or 10 for a well refined structure), your resolution might not be 1.24A, i.e., you may have integrated noise (check I/sigI over resolution shells). Tim P.S.: I wonder what power somebody might have to _force_ you use a specific software version... On 10/28/2011 03:48 AM, Kenneth A. Satyshur wrote: Has anyone had problems with Refmac 5.6?
