Hi,

If your overall structure is reasonably globular, then the radius of gyration term should work all right. But the expected radius would not double. Rather, you'd calculate it using 2.2 Nres^0.38 where Nres is the total number of residues in both monomers.

Hope this helps.

My question is how to use the radius of gyration, collapse term for a
homodimer in the Xplor refinement script. Specifically, I'm interested in a domain swapped homodimer that has a very intertwined structure (but is still very globular). Do I only "assign" the residues in one subunit and then use double the expected radius of gyration? I am also using NCS symmetry in the
refinement.

My current format is:

collapse scale 1.0
  assign (resid 3:66 ) 50.0 10.68
end

Will this take the dimer into account, or should I double the expected
radius of gyration to 21.4?

Thanks,
