Re: [ccp4bb] Bfactors too high after TLS refinement

2014-06-05 Thread Tim Gruene
Dear Carles, it used to be the case (and probably still is) that you had to specify BRESID false when using tlsanl with a PDB file from refmac5. It seems that 'TLSOUT ADDU' specified for refmac5 allows you to use tlsanl with its default value 'true'. The incorrect mixture might lead to an artifi

Re: [ccp4bb] Bfactors too high after TLS refinement

2014-06-05 Thread Pavel Afonine
Carles, a few points to consider: - you might be comparing B-factors coming from local atomic vibrations alone (residual B, or whatever it's called), and the total atomic B-factor, that includes all components: Btotal = Btls + Bresidual +... . (for comprehensive review on this topic see: TLS from

Re: [ccp4bb] Bfactors too high after TLS refinement

2014-06-05 Thread Nicholas Keep
TLS in phenix does seem to lead to high B factors in some of our cases. To check whether it was particular to our datasets , we rerefined some similar structures to ours from the PDB and found that their B factors increased to high values similar to our structure when run through the same phen

2014-06-05 Thread Patrick Loll
George, Remember that scattering from every point in the cell contributes to every reflection; the R-value is a global metric of agreement between the model and the data. Hence, calculating the R-value for a few selected residues is not a sensible thing to do, unless you want to ask how well yo

Hi George, The R-factor is an overall disagreement statistic, it can not be broken down in parts for bits of the structure. (in other words, you can not correlate parts of the model with a subset of the reflections in the mtz, as a non-crystallographer might think - all the electrons in the as
