“The word free still existed in Newspeak, but it could only be used in such statements as 'This dog is free from lice' or 'This field is free from weeds'. It could not be used in its old sense of 'politically free' or 'intellectually free' since political and intellectual freedom no longer exist

Re: [ccp4bb] 3 alternate position of metal ion

Dear Shikha, We recently released and published program MetalCoord which analyses coordination geometry of metal sites and generate restraints to stabilise refinement. My suggestion would be to model there just a single zinc and refine the structure. Then put that structure as an input to Me

Hello friends, For those of us who have lived in the USSR these developments should feel quite familiar. I've often joked that the US is edging ever closer to how the USSR used to be, but I think we've actually crossed this line now and it's not funny anymore. We can anticipate future development

I love this conversation. It is an important one right now that addresses the intersection between the precise language needed to communicate science and the greater zeitgeist around politicization of vocabulary.

Re: [ccp4bb] IDS in PDB

In my experience the decision to model disordered atoms as missing or with high B factors has little to do with "correctness", but rather is most highly correlated with the user's favorite refinement program.  If you use phenix.refine it will, by default, tend to allow B factors to "blow up" an
