Hi Christian, I usually send the pdb back to the tlsmd server after any manipulation of the model just to be on the safe side. I'm not sure whether that'll make any difference in your case but it's perhaps worth trying.

TLS issue? Hi all, I refine a structure with TLS and restrained refinement in Refmac. After the run finished, I fixed a few outliers manually in Coot, saved that file and used that with the original TLS file from TLSMD for the next round of refinement. As soon as the restrained refinement starts the R-factors are going up and stabilise than at a higher values compared to the previous run. If I switch of the TLS refinement and just do restrained refinement with the same input files the R-values start initially at a higher values and than decrease till they stabilise. Unfortunately the final values are about 1.5 % higher, compared to the run with TLS before manual rebuilding. So TLS seems to me beneficial and I would like to use it, but somehow a strange combination of wrong files?, wrong parametrization? or whatever prevent me of doing that. Has anyone an idea what might be the cause of that strange behaviour. Thank you very much in advance. Cheers Christian
