Dear Charles and other Xplor users, I am using PRE data to determine protein structure, but I don't understand how the Q factor is calculated. An detailed example is shown below. As shown below, the output file says the Q-factor for Cysp107hn is 0.944. However if I calculate the Q-factor using Q=sqrt(sum(diff^2)/sum(obs^2)), then Q is 0.4512. Can anybody help me figure out the problem? Thanks in advance.
