Is n't the danger here that you are just fitting to noise generated by the rest of the Unit Cell that you are ignoring. So it is easy to do a 'good bit' of modelling in a specific region. Just like some tennis players have very good serves but do not win matches.

Hi, Tim, Thanks for your comment. Do you agree with the editorial's claim that some 25% of the deposited protein-ligand complexes might be dodgy in significant details?  This editorial comment represents something that I often hear from drug discovery professionals. Is it a matter of PR

Hi Jeff, there are quite a few implications in your brief email that each might open a long thread of discussion. As brief as possible I think one has to be a good scientist and a good crystallographier to fully understand the meaning of a crystal structure, and I think many people believe a

Dear Ruby, Most synchrotrons will have a beamline designed for small angle solutions scattering. It would depend on your geographical location, which facility you may prefer to look at. Their websites have detailed information about what beamlines are available to external users and what type
