Hi,

I am currently refining some reasonably high (1.4-1.6 Å) resolution protein:RNA 
complex structures and was trying the approach described in Schwartz et al. 
Nat. Struct. Biol. 8 (2001) 761-765 where they divided each nucleotide into 
three TLS groups  – the ribose, the phosphorus atom plus both nonesterified 
oxygens and the base. 

When I define a tlsin file that does this with the ribose, P OP1 and OP2, and 
base from 3 successive nucleotides everything seems to work fine so the groups 
are defined correctly. However when I divide a single nucleotide into 3 TLS 
groups only the first group has its origin calculated and actually has TLS 
parameters refined:


TLS origin for group            1  -3.1622999      -6.9280601      -9.6330261   
 
TLS origin for group            2   0.0000000       0.0000000       0.0000000   
 
TLS origin for group            3   0.0000000       0.0000000       0.0000000   

TLS group    1:

0.060

TLS group    2:

0.000

TLS group    3:                                                                 
                
 T tensor ( 3) =    0.031   0.031   0.031   0.000   0.000   0.000
 L tensor ( 3) =    0.000   0.000   0.000   0.000   0.000   0.000
 S tensor ( 3) =    0.000   0.000   0.000   0.000   0.000   0.000   0.000   
0.000


An excerpt from my tlsin is below:

TLS    
RANGE  'B   3.' 'B   3.' P
RANGE  'B   3.' 'B   3.' O1P
RANGE  'B   3.' 'B   3.' O2P

TLS    
RANGE  'B   3.' 'B   3.' C1*
RANGE  'B   3.' 'B   3.' C2*
RANGE  'B   3.' 'B   3.' C3*
RANGE  'B   3.' 'B   3.' C4*
RANGE  'B   3.' 'B   3.' C5*
RANGE  'B   3.' 'B   3.' O2*
RANGE  'B   3.' 'B   3.' O3*
RANGE  'B   3.' 'B   3.' O4*


TLS    
RANGE  'B   3.' 'B   3.' N1
RANGE  'B   3.' 'B   3.' C2
RANGE  'B   3.' 'B   3.' O2
RANGE  'B   3.' 'B   3.' N3
RANGE  'B   3.' 'B   3.' C4
RANGE  'B   3.' 'B   3.' O4
RANGE  'B   3.' 'B   3.' C5
RANGE  'B   3.' 'B   3.' C6

I guess I've got the syntax of the tlsin file wrong? Any suggestions for what's 
wrong would be much appreciated!

Thanks,


Huw
