Hi Pavel,
It would be nice if the PDB would include phenix as one of the choices for reporting
program used to calculate rmsd values in a deposition; at the moment we have to report as 'other'.
Not your job I know - perhaps Paul could twist arms?
Best, Mark

Put hydrogen atoms issue aside (see my previous email), and even put
particular program use aside too, I would still be uncertain about "what
reasonable means". There was enough of discussion on this matter in
CCP4BB and relatively recent Acta D papers.
I'm sure it can be easily criticized, but I would use that X-ray target
weight that gives you the best Rfree (this is what "optimize_wxc=true"
option in phenix.refine does, and similar for B-factors).
And yes, for the moment you can use phenix.model_vs_data to report the
final geometry rmsd statistics for a model containing hydrogen atoms:
phenix.model_vs_data model.pdb data.mtz
Please let me know if you have any questions!
Cheers,
Pavel.
