> documentation then i conclude the TLS protocol in refmac is markedly different from phenix (i know this is not strictly a ccp4 question). cf. :

(trying to keep this a refmac/tlsanl question) and the results are equivalent - because of factors perhaps in symmetrization of S, because there are no unique choices of these things. if so, only the refmac axes faciliate an intuitive comparison. regards, -bryan p.s: link to original thread phenix board : http://www.phenix-online.org/pipermail/phenixbb/2010-October/004724.html
