Hi Jon, this is an interesting link. The quality of the absolute scales can be benchmarked with small molecule data. As F000 for X-ray diffraction is the sum of electrons, it can be conveniently determined from counting when each atom is actually modelled. Maybe this has been done, I only read th

2023-06-30 Thread Hughes, Jonathan
hallo again, thatnks for your replies and warnings about quantifying electron density. it seems that there are fundamental uncertainties that make quantitative measurement difficult or even impossible. however, the redoubtable david von stetten (alias T-REXX) mentioned that "absolute maps" try t
