Re: [ccp4bb] raw data deposition

2011-10-27 Thread Thomas C. Terwilliger
Why should we store images? There are many reasons why storing images can be useful, but one is the ability to re-analyze the data for a structure, or for all structures, in a systematic and improved way. I imagine that in a few years the PDB-REDO approach to rebuilding structures will be extende

John Helliwell points out to me that it might be useful to know what MX crystallographic data researchers in different countries are already expected to deposit or save. He notes that research funding agencies in the UK expect researchers to preserve their raw experimental data for at least 5 years

I think that we are using the test set for many things: 1. Determining and communicating to others whether our overall procedure is overfitting the data. 2. Identifying the optimal overall procedure in cases where very different options are being considered (e.g., should I use TLS). 3. Calculati

Dear Yolanda, Here is the basic idea of prime-and-switch phasing: We calculate phases from a model. These phases are mostly correct, but may have incorrect peaks at the coordinates of some misplaced atoms in the model. Next we are going to go through our reflections one by one. We calculate a m

Hi Partha, It sounds to me as though the amplitudes that were given to resolve as FP may have been calculated ones. The FP and SIGFP written out by resolve are normally the same as those that are input, and so you can use them in refinement in most circumstances. You are always safest to do as G
