Hi Gunnar, I would have thought that changing the value and gradient of the target function had the potential to alter the minima? Indeed, the target function is changed during the search, but once a stable minimum is found, the DEN potential needs to be zero by definition and the

Hi Rob, This also means that the position of the minima of the target function are not changed by the DEN (gamma=1) restraints. I would have thought that changing the value and gradient of the target function had the potential to alter the minima? Indeed, the target function is changed

Hi Gunnar, I generally agree with your comments. However, I'd like to clarify a couple of points: For gamma=1 the DEN potential can follow anywhere, the entire conformational space is accessible and dij(t+1) depends only on Dij(t) and dij(t). ... But, again, the starting (or reference)

Hi Rob, thank you, your comments helped a lot. From the Refmac5 paper I did not get the fact that d is set to d_current after each step. In that case you are right, jelly-body corresponds rather to DEN with gamma=1 than to gamma=0. And of course, a very important difference is, as you

Hi Gunnar, A couple of comments, to clarify a few of the similarities and dissimilarities between DEN and analogous technologies: According to your very nice paper from 2010, DEN refinement with gamma=0 gives a higher weight to external information, whilst gamma=1 ignores external information

Just a quick comment on low resolution refinement: The concept of Deformable Elastic Network (DEN) refinement is quite similar to jelly-body refinement in the special case of gamma=0, for which the network is not deformable. In contrast to jelly-body refinement, the DEN restraints are however

Dear experts, Could someone explain what it is exactly that jelly body refinement does? I think that I understand it intuitively but want to make sure. In the same vein, what does jelly body refinement sigma parameter control? I.e., in comparison to the default sigma = 0.02, does sigma = 0.1 make

Garib gave a nice description of jelly-body refinement at the ACA meeting. IIRC from his talk, conceptually jelly-body refinment is the equivalent of adding springs between atoms within a certain radius of each other that restrain their movement during refinement. The restraints contribute to

2012-08-23 Thread Robert Nicholls
Glad to clarify! Also, note that whilst the springs between atoms analogy is nice for visualisation purposes, and certainly helps to initially explain the concept, it is not technically correct. Certainly, a similar analogy would be appropriate for external restraints and NCS local restraints,

I know that refmac5 can run Jelly-body refinement for low resolution structure, but how can I update my ccp4i to get the jelly-body refinement? Thanks for all your suggestion.
