Hi Leonard, reflection file editor has no other choice but the input data file you provide. If you provide multiple files with different crystal symmetry (SG and uc dimensions), it will pick one of the available and show it in Output options. This is your chance to check it and change it if necessary. If you don't do it, the choice may not be what you want. phenix.refine will inspect all inputs for the crystal symmetry information (command line, parameter file, input model file, and input data files; note, data can come in different data file, like flags in one file and Fobs in another, for example), and choose the "working crystal symmetry", and then check it against crystal symmetry from the data. There are quite some complex logic behind that choice. It will show you that choice and you always can accept it or change to what you want. Clearly, to make things easier and not rely on programs guessing, it's best to supply inputs with consistent crystal symmetry inputs. Pavel On 5/13/20 09:08, Thomas, Leonard M. wrote:
Hello All,
I have run into something that has me a bit puzzled. When finishing up a structure we ended reprocessing the data to get nice statistics for deposition, I don’t want to get into that discussion. Upon reprocessing the unit cell dimensions shifted slightly, 0.05 A or so. The PDB file used had the unit cell from the original solution/refinement while the data set cell dimensions were different. I ran the newly processed reflection data set through the reflection editor in order to transfer the Rfree set. Now the really odd thing is that I ended up reprocessing a couple times and transferring over the Rfree set once more. The cell dimensions on the final reflection file is from not the original reflection file/PDB but one that was used with an intermediate cutoff between the two, it is not the cell dimensions in the input reflection either. Just for completeness the data were processed using XDS at SSRL.
My question is where does phenix.refine pick up the unit cell dimensions and were does the reflection file editor pick them up?
