After TLS refinement (which seemed to be stable and produced nice R_free values), I have analyzed the rigid body results with TLSANL. I get negative mean-square displacements along the axes of libration WRT to orthogonal axes! Am I misunderstanding something here? The units are (deg^2). I see this with two different structures. Here is the output from TLSANL:

AXES OF LIBRATION WRT TO MEAN-SQUARE ANGLE LIBRATION AXES MAKE TO ORTHOGONAL AXES (IN ROWS) DISPLACEMENT ORTHOGONAL AXES (DEG) ABOUT AXES (DEG^2) X Y Z 0.842 0.197 0.502 -53.975 32.66 78.63 59.85 -0.494 0.657 0.570 193.421 119.60 48.97 55.24 -0.217 -0.728 0.650 -12.276 102.55 136.73 49.45

MEAN LIBRATION (TRACE/ 3) 42.390


Anyone seen this happen before?
