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.

Cheers

Clemens
