Dear ccp4 folks,

I am refining a structure in several crystal forms, with several molecules in the asymmetric unit. The structure is rather flexible, so I am using TLS refinement, having first submitted the coordinates to the TLSMD server (http://skuld.bmsc.washington.edu/~tlsmd/).

The TLS refinement worked OK with REFMAC 5.2.0019 (CCP4 6.0.2) for 3 molecules in the asu, but not for crystal forms with 6 molecules/asu (it just got hung).

For the latter crystal forms I have switched to CCP4 6.1.0 with REFMAC 5.5.0066, where it worked fine for two crystals - and now plays up for the third crystal!

It is not exactly crashing, so I don't know what is going on. This is the last part of the logfile:

Unfortunately, there are NO files written out! There is no real error message either, the CCP4i interface says the job has finished normally.

I have already tried to vary the number of TLS fragments, with no better result. The older Refmac just gets hung....

Any help will be appreciated!

Thanks,

Anita
