Hi Cedric, the PDB file reports two R/Rrfee values:
all data : 0.110 / 0.170 F>4SIG(F) : 0.103 / 0.162 while the mmCIF version has: _refine.ls_R_factor_R_work 0.103 _refine.ls_R_factor_R_free 0.134 But that R-free value doesn't seem to be present in the PDB formatted version. Also: _refine.ls_R_factor_R_work is probably the wrong item (if according to the PDB formatted version that R-value was calculated from both working and test-set reflections): shouldn't it be _refine.ls_R_factor_obs? See: http://mmcif.wwpdb.org/dictionaries/mmcif_pdbx_v40.dic/Items/_refine.ls_R_factor_R_work.html Without knowing if the mmCIF was generated from a PDB formatted deposition or the other way round, it might be tricky to know what values are actually correct from just looking at the PDB archive. But looking at the paper (Table 2): Reflections with F >4 sigma (for Rfree) Isotropic: Rcryst/Rfree (%) 14.08 / 16.11 Anisotropic: Rcryst/Rfree (%) 10.29 / 13.36 All reflections (for Rfree) Anisotropic Rcryst/Rfree (%) 11.01 / 14.14 So I would say that R/Rfree = 0.110/0.141 are the 'correct' values (if Rcryst==R?). It looks like typical case of slight confusion when going from a paper to filling out the deposition form correctly.
