Re: [phenixbb] Problem in reducing R-factor

I'm *thinking* (not doing it right now) to make phenix.refine do something of this sort automatically if the resolution is really 1.3A (and not in fact say 1.5 or so but data file has a couple of reflections nearing 1.3A, which would tend people claim it is 1.3A resolution!) and r-factors are not too far to expected ones given *actual* data resolution. Of course "1.3A" in this case is going to be a range between 1 and 1.5A in terms of data quality. Pavel On 10/11/13 8:39 AM, Nathaniel Echols wrote:

What happens if you try refining protein atoms (but not waters) with individual anisotropic B-factors instead of TLS? It isn't guaranteed to work at 1.3Å, but it usually does (in my hands, anyway).

Also make sure you have explicit hydrogens added; this will have a significant effect at this resolution. And turn on the water update if you haven't already.

Hi all, I am solving a crystal structure at 1.3Å. Completeness of the data-set and Figure of merit at this resolution are 99.5% and 0.62 respectively. Structure has two molecules per asymmetric unit. I used TLS parameters and NCS restraints. WXC_scale and WXU_scale are 0.50 and 1.0 respectively. Rwork and Rfree are 18.09 and 19.62 respectively. I tried with reducing WXC_scale and WXU scale to 0.25 and 0.30 respectively but it did not help. Please suggest me if I need to change some parameters. I shall be grateful for your help.
