All the crystals I got for three different proteins in same condition looked
similar. I think crystal morphology may vary with the crystallizing conditions.

I try not to advertise SHELX too often on CCP4bb, but this is
just the sort of disorder problem that small molecule
crystallographers handle successfully and rather frequently
with SHELX. The use of 'free variables' for tying occupancies
together and restraining distances to be equal is something

A minor point: the interaction is not really "at once," is it? The photon
does have to move through the crystal over a finite time.

To upgrade the Refmac version that I am running from inside the CCP4i, I
did the following
mv $CCP4/bin/refmac5 $CCP4/bin/refmac5.5
cp refmacgfortran $CCP4/bin/refmac5.6
ln -s $CCP4/bin/refmac5.6 $CCP4/bin/refmac5
It seems to have worked fine. Is there more intelligent way of doing
this?

Any vector, whether in the 'mathematical' or 'physical' sense as

(Euclidean or otherwise - which I hope is what were talking about),

Yes, it is true that, for the single "reference electron" the scattered

hence, the amplitude falls off with 1/r. However, the units
Thanks, Ian, this is excellent. It appears that depending on the
sequence the "ideal target rmsd" may vary from 0.018 for a poly-H to
0.024 for a poly-P. Except for some really short sequences, in PDB the
variation is generally between 0.021-0.022, indeed undetectable.
