Am I worrying about something unnecessarily? I have several protein-drug datasets, all in the same spacegroup, but wildly varying resolutions. I wish to use the same reflections for calculating R-free in all cases.
Using xia2 with a reference dataset for both indexing and R-free seems to work fine, apart from the fact that the resulting mtz file, now contains R-free labels for reflections that have no observations… i.e. taken from the higher resolution "reference dataset"; see output below. I get essentially the same results using CAD to copy the R-free column between mtzfiles…. Is this actually a problem - or is it just my innate sense of tidiness that wants the resolution values to be the same? Many thanks, Antony.
