Hi, I recently noticed that the geometry in my structure is much worse than my previous model. Here are some examples. The RMSD results after a refinement by phenix 1.3b. stage angl bond chir dihe plan repu 3_bss: 0.711 0.009 0.059 18.282 0.002 3.917 after switching to cci version 2008_02_08_1610, I tried to do a geometry minimization by setting wxc_scale = 0. The RMSD I got from the previous model is as following. stage angl bond chir dihe plan repu 0 : 1.394 0.124 0.147 20.782 0.004 3.925 and after 6 macro cycles of geometry minimization, stage angl bond chir dihe plan repu 6_bss: 0.622 0.011 0.120 13.143 0.003 3.822 It funny that the RMSD are so different for the same model. What happened?
