issue. Could I just confirm whether or not you think its necessary to transfer initial free R assignment to any new data sets or to isomorphous data sets such as substrate complexes.

well, i would always do a slow-cool at the start so then it would not be necessary to transfer them

ian says:

Slow cooling or pseudo-MD such as randomly shifting co-ordinates
actually moves you away from convergence, and as I said convergence is

but at the stage of the refinement we're talking about (you have just placed the model in the asu, and no refinement has taken place against the new data yet) you are far away from convergence anyway. a slow-cool then does several beneficial things: it "decouples" r and rfree, reduces "memory"/model bias, and refines your starting model with a larger radius of convergence than minimisation

see some of axel brunger's papers, reviews and book chapters from the mid 1990s onward - he has done a lot of tests involving SA, rfree, etc.

by the way - if you *do* want to transfer test flags, or extend a test set to higher resolution, etc. - dataman has a fair number of options for doing so; see http://xray.bmc.uu.se/usf/dataman_man.html#H9
