Dear Tom,
Thank you very much for the prompt reply!
I think I understand. One more question, still being somewhat
unfamiliar with the Phenix GUI/command line concept; can I actually
specify the correct_aniso=True keyword within the GUI or do I have to
do that via an .eff file or via the command line. If the first
applies, where do I specify this in the GUI ("Refine eff file list" ?)
Would you also recommend to explicitly specify a range and ratio for
the anisotropy correction, such as "delta_b_for_auto_correct_aniso=20"
or let Phenix take care of that?
I am putting in heavy atom sites from ShelxD, so use Autosol primarily
for phasing and density modification right now; so I think including
slightly more noisy data should not make as big a difference.
Best regards,
Florian
