Re: [ccp4bb] atomic scattering factors in REFMAC

2011-11-02 Thread Pavel Afonine
Continuing on the subject, as far as I know there are at least three flavors of form-factors currently used in refinement programs: "4 gaussian plus const": International Tables for Crystallography (1992) "5 gaussian plus const": D. Waasmaier & A. Kirfel. Acta Cryst. (1995). A51, 416-431. "New an

Ivan, it might be helpful/instructive to have a look at this review on the subject you seem to be actively interested: Acta Cryst. (2004). A60, 19-32. and some basic educational illustrations here: http://phenix-online.org/newsletter/CCN_2011_01.pdf (see "Electron density illustrations" articl

Hi James! Thank you very much for the gnuplot-ish version of ${CLIBD}/atomsf.lib!! It works very nice and is very useful for education! As I understand, the form factor is the Fourier transform of electron charge density. It is plotted as f(electrons) vs sin(tetta)/lambda and is approximated a

Hi Napo, i am sorry if you already answered this, why are so sure your solutions are wrong? Your maps do not look that bad. What kind of R's do you get? Are you not happy with the packing of your coils?

Thank you all for the replies. Sorry for taking so long to reply, I was actually trying some of your interesting ideas (and I'm still trying). I tried using the low resolution data sets for the molecular replacement (thanks to Yuriy Patskovsky), I also improved and increased my coiled coil d

Hi Ed, Ok, I'll bite: I would be very interested to see any data sets which initially were thought to be e.g. PG222 and scale OK ish with that but turn out in hindsight to be say PG2. Trying to automatically spot this or at least warn inside xia2 would be really handy. Any pseudosymmetric examples
