Dear all,

I was using ready set to get my pdb ready. It automatically built the ligand cif file from scratch too. And the phenix.refine was fine with the files from ready set.

Then I tried another method in which I threw everything that phenix.refine needs, including pdb file, ligand cif file, ligand pdb file, mtz. And phenix.refine ran smoothly again.

But the refinement results were different between these two ways. The R fac is 1% different. I think ready set is only making the phenix.refine easier by generating ligand and building H, but if I do all the work of ready set and prepare the files for phenix.refine. Aren't they supposed to give the same results back? Can anyone help me here? Thanks a lot.
