Dear Eleaonor and CCP4ers, I always wondered, why there are phase columns PHWT, PHDELWT (Refmac) or PH2FOFCWT, PHFOFCWT (phenix.refine) in addition to the PHIC column of the atomic model. In absence of other phase information, the phase should come from the atomic model, only. Best

Well, it makes for consistency between the output when there is not, and is, exptl phase information - in the 2nd case the PHWT is a weighted derivative of the two phase estimates. You could get away with just one of PHWT and PHDELWT since they can only differ bu 180, but that would require

The SIGMAA program has since it was written in the 80's (mainly by Randy of course, but also in part by Eleanor I believe?) used only 1 phase column (= PHIC) for the case where the phases of FWT DELFWT are equal to PHIC: obviously if they are unequal (e.g. as a result of phase combination) then

A few more examples of what Daniel refers to can be seen in Figure 11 - Nature Protocols 4:706-731, 2009. We encounter them from time to time using the in meso (lipidic cubic phase) method. With experience you get to recognize them for what they are. Martin -Original Message- From:

Tim, Not really. Fo's can be viewed as having 3 parts. 1) F from our modeled structure, 2) F from what we can't model. This can be bulk solvent, partial or multiple occupancies in low resolution structures, thermal anisotropy , etc. 3) F from random errors in measuring data. The first F is what

Phantom Crystals can easily be achieved by failing to cryoprotect most any crystal, or by a few other common crystal handling methods, but I don't think this is what you were asking about. I do have users bring in what I call plastic crystals from time to time, but these crystals that don't

Hello Doug, I understand your arguing, although I do not understand why Fo contains a contribution from the model(led structure). My idea was only supposed to be a backup in case the apo-form had not been measuredcor could not be used. I agree the Fo(complex)-Fo(apo) gives a much more
