Hi James,
I would say that 0.333 (in a scientific context) implies that I am
confident about this number up to the third decimal point, i.e. 0.3325
<= x <= 0.3334. This gives you an idea of the precision. 1/3 is not a
scientific format, but a mathemat

The least-square procedure for unit cell parameter
Shouldn't the cell dimensions be identical in the coordinate
file and in the structure factor file? In this case they
are not.

Dear Zbyszek,
when you optimise a set of parameters against a set of data, I guess you
can also provide their errors. If I understand correctly, this comes
with least-squares-routines. I only pointed out that cell errors are
listed in the XDS output (provided you refine them, of course). I am
sure
Error estimates for the unit cell dimensions in macromolecular
crystallography belong to atypical category of uncertainty estimates.
Random error contribution in most cases is below 0.001A, so it can be
neglected. Wavelength calibration error can be also made very small;
however, I do not know how
I took a look at both the PDB and CIF headers for the coordinates
for 4C69 and they have normal looking numbers with three digits
following the decimal point. According to the coordinate file
header this entry was processed by PDBE. It would be interesting

Hi Bernhard,
A look at the methods section might give you a clue. Neither XDS nor
XSCALE create mmCIF - files (you are talking about mmCIF, not CIF -
subtle, but annoying difference), so that the choice is limited. I
