Hi Nicholas, Thank you for your reply. it seems that we are trying to deposit one model to satisfy two different purposes - one for model validation and the other for model interpretation (use in docking etc), and what's good for one purpose might not be necessarily good for the other. Th

As a relatively inexperienced scientist, I find this discussion fascinating. I wonder if NMR and EM people are also worried about depositing enough "modeled info" to allow back calculation of data. Regarding the original discussion of whether to deposit riding hydrogens used in the refineme
