Hi James, my understanding is that phenix.refine allows any number of alternate conformers. There may have been a limit of 4 some time in the past, but no longer. So your idea could be tested. Cheers, Paul On Mar 27, 2012, at 12:33 PM, James Holton wrote: > Try this: > > 1) tak

Try this: 1) take your favorite PDB file and set all the B factors to ~80 (reduces series-termination errors) 2) use sfall/fft in CCP4 to calculate structure factors to 4A resolution 3) use sftools to add a "SIGF" column (0.1 will do) to make refmac5 happy 4) refine the "perfect" model against

This is a personal preference. I do model at low sigma levels if there IS some indication of where to put atoms, always try to keep the correct sequence even if some atoms are missing, and just for coot convenience keep atoms with occ = 0, rather than delete them altogether. (COOT will refine a

I agree with Eleanor 100%... In my biased opinion, only the atoms supported by electron density should be included in deposited models. To satisfy the "but this will mess up the electrostatic potential coloring" argument (a valid one, of course), the "projected model" can be deposited alongside w

As Garib says - an atom with occupancy 0.00 is treated as a marker - useful for coot - but is not included in any X-ray refinement at all.. Maybe it would be more aesthetic to maintain geometry but as crystallographers I think we should be interested in the fit of model to experiment - right? -

Hi David Occupancis of input file are very suspicious and not all atoms of resides are present, some occupancies are zero. In refmac zero occupancy means it does not exist. It may explain the problem In refinement we could add an option to make occuancies one if there are no alts but it would b
