Thanks George! I didn't feel remotely qualified to describe how SHELX works, and that is why I didn't. On 1/7/2011 3:11 PM, George M. Sheldrick wrote: Dear James, I did once write a refinement program so I should try to answer your question. All hydrogen atoms attached to C and N in standard

Dear James, I did once write a refinement program so I should try to answer your question. All hydrogen atoms attached to C and N in standard proteins and almost all in DNSs and RNAs can be calculated geometrically with no ambiguities. This has been standard practice in SHELX for about 35 years

Persons of interest: I understood that refinements in refmac of low res structures without hydrogens includes a component of the Hydrogen atom attached to the carbon in the carbon scattering factors. Or is this just if the Hydrogen atoms  are in the riding position. If so, why bother to add hydrog
