One argument for archiving images has been that reprocessing could demonstrate deliberately deceptive structures.
In fact, what is needed for this is not necessarily the image. It is the last data file that was produced by a trusted computer. If the structure depends on mtz files produced at the synchrotron, then it is sufficient to authenticate the reduced data. The images are only needed for this purpose if they have been reprocessed. regards, Chris ____________________________________________ Chris Morris chris.mor...@stfc.ac.uk Tel: +44 (0)1925 603689 Fax: +44 (0)1925 603634 Mobile: 07921-717915 Skype: chrishgmorris http://pims.structuralbiology.eu/ http://www.citeulike.org/blog/chrishmorris Daresbury Lab, Daresbury, Warrington, UK, WA4 4AD
