Hi Hailiang, I posted this several times and here is another one.. The exact formula and all the related details are here: http://cci.lbl.gov/~afonine/FandR/Fmodel_and_Rfactor.pdf (there is a small typo in the formula found by Lothar, but I leave it for you to find -:) ) Also, here is ano

Hi, I have a very simple question about the R factor. I was trying to reproduce the R factor reported in the PDB file. I used phenix.fmodel incorporating solvent model, anisotropic scaling etc to calculate Fc, but frequenlty it doesn't match the PDB R factor. Now I am wondering what is the scalin

Perhaps I was confused by the "refinement exclude" keyword which explicitly says that atoms excluded from refinement will contribute to the mask calculation.  Thanks for the correction. I would still object to the zero-occupancy atoms on semantic grounds.  Partial occupancy means that an ato

I agree that zero occupancy is a bit ugly, but useful when not sure whether you will ever see that LYS.. But I dont think it wlll displace bulk solvent - at least not in REFMAC where an atom with occ=0.0 will not contribute to the atom map. And I expect this is true for all other structure fac
