[ccp4bb] Fwd: Re: [ccp4bb] SUMMARY: scala and xds data

2010-04-26 Thread Frank von Delft
Well, there's one one very good reason to scale XDS data with scala: scala prints out per-image statistics, which are fantastically useful. My particular favourite: the scaling B-factor, which is as direct a read-out of dose (i.e. decay) as we have: 1A^2 per MGy. (Lots and lots of cave

I am a bit out of touch with the discussion, and this may have been mentioned already. It is important to remember that Sigma is an OVERALL value for the whole map, whereas one is looking for local solutions when fitting any density. Stuff on the surface of the molecule ought to be contoured a

A general point often overlooked, the Rfactor from twinned refinement at least with SHELX and REFMAC do not use exactly the same formulation as an Rfactor for a mono-crystal and seems consistently lower than expected.. my impression is that they cannot be compared easily. And there may be a pr

Eleanor, Do you have a rationale for assuming a lower uncertainty on the surface than in the core? I ask this because I did once look at the variation of the local RMSD of a difference Fourier, i.e. w(mFo-DFc) with w=2 for acentrics, w=1 for centrics, and I didn't find any obvious correlation wit
