Dear all,

on top of other peoples remarks and out of interest:

 (1) What is the supposed difference between Rmerge and Rsym in your
     table and what software/tool computed those? Are you sure Rsym is
     not supposed to be Rpim?

     There is a slight historical difference between the Rmerge/Rsym
     notation, but for all purposes of modern area detectors and
     processing software we tend to call this only Rmerge
     ... usually.

 (2) Are your Rmerge/Rmeas values truly exactly 100% in the outer
     shells? That seems surprising: those values are not
     intrinsically/mathematically limited to a maximum value of 100%
     and any program writing them out as 100% might do this by
     truncating them (so you might want to check).

 (3) What are the resolution limits for those outer shell values given
     in parentheses? Often they are given somewhere in such a table,
     so maybe only missing from your cut-n-paste to the CCP4bb.

Cheers

Clemens

PS: What is wrong by giving R-values as fractions (R/Rfree =
    0.240/0.266, Rmeas=0.162) instead of give in them as percentages?
    All (?) formulas I know of in books, dictionaries and papers don't
    seem to have this factor of 100 in them ... am I missing a
    historical/important relevance to this habit?
