Dear Oliviero, The suggestion made by Tim Grüne is probably best, you didn't specify exactly what you have in the mmCIF file. Anyway, openbabel should be able to read mmCIF files and write a CIF, (https://openbabel.org/wiki/MmCIF) Best regards, Folmer On 2017-11-14 14:16, Oliviero Carugo w

Dear Oliviero, depending where the mmCIF originates from, and provided you have data with it, it might be easiest to go mmCIF -> PDB -> SHELXL (via PDB2INS) -> CIF (via the SHELXL ACTA command). Best, Tim On Tuesday, November 14, 2017 2:16:06 PM CET Oliviero Carugo wrote: > Dears, > > does any

Remember DNA can generate some very strong reflections along the stacking axis. But 2outliers" can mean anything - as Herman says look at the images. Aimless shows you a plot of where they are - and gives a list.. - they may be associated with ice rings? or just diffraction problems. On 14 No

Most metals give a reasonable anomalous signal at CiKa. at 1.75A S f" is ~ 0.8 Se ~ 1.4 That is not very strong - you would need pretty good data to see the signal, but aimless analyses the CCanom for you. There are lots of sites to tell you what f" is likely to be for all atom types- CHOOCH

Dear Radhika, What reason does Xtriage give for declaring the reflections to be outliers? Too weak, too strong, other reasons? As was mentioned before, what is the resolution of your data? In cases like this, it is always good to have a look at the diffraction images to see if there is some pro
