I prepared this on Sunday, here it is now:-
Well, I was 'shaken but not stirred' to see a program 'fake_Fobs'. However
James' posting on the Rfactor gap in MX is a more respectable, Sunday morning,
topic. I tried to find the previous threads on this via google and couldn't. So
apologies to all
Hi James,
I guess it depends on what you put in your simulated Fobs. With
phenix.fake_f_obs I can add lots of stuff including H, TLS, small random
rigid-body shifts averaged over ensemble of MD simulated models,
alternative conformations, libration motions of side chains around bonds,
etc.. etc...
Hi Alastair,
since you mentioned it... In our article "On the analysis of residual
density distribution on an absolute scale":

one of the conclusions was that we could not reproduce pronounced features
on the solvent/macromolecule border show
thanks for the reference to the script and additional discussion. I've
looked through the archives a bit but couldn't find an answer to a
question that's been on my mind for a while so my apologies if this
revisits well-trod ground. One of the potential sources of disagreement
contributing to
I feel like I should point out that there is about a 20% difference
between "Fcalc" and something I would call a "simulated Fobs". Fcalc is
something that refinement programs compute many times every second as
they apply 100 years worth of brilliant ideas to make your model (Fcalc)
match your
