When refmac encounters new ligand, the default behavior is to report it in the log file and exit. But it also apparently creates the output pdb-file (with coordinates the same as the input file). Is there some way to change this behavior so that no output pb file is generated?
What I need is the reliable way to detect when refmac has failed (for any reason - missing ligand cif, no test set, unit cell mismatch, etc). So far I relied on the fact that upon failure it does not generate XYZOUT, but this seems to be one situation when it does. I can still detect it from inspecting the log file looking for the "===> Error: New ligand has been encountered. Stopping now" line, which is a bit more tedious. Are there any other situations when the refinement failed but XYZOUT is nevertheless generated? Cheers, Ed. -- "I'd jump in myself, if I weren't so good at whistling." Julian, King of Lemurs
