Hi Frank,

What *is* the tool in phenix to from total to partial? I suspect it's one of the phenix.pdbtools adp commands, but the documentation is a bit sparse on that program.

There is currently no such tool simply because no-one ever asked for this. It is trivial to add and I will implement it as an option in phenix.pdbtools as soon as I get to it (hopefully, really soon). It will be documented as well.

Hi, here's what triggered my earlier rant:

I took a pdb from phenix.refine back into refmac, with same TLS definitions, but leaving the ANISOU cards in (accident). I ran this through TLSANL, asking for total B.

Refmac has left the ANISOU cards, but all zero except the first element. ATOM B is much lower.

As I said previously, working on phenix.refine I do not expect people jumping between the programs. I assume if phenix.refine is missing an option and someone run into a need of it, he or she will write us and ask for that feature rather than switching to another software. We usually try to address such requests quickly. Having this in mind, I do not spend much effort on making this jumping easy. With some minor exceptions (which are working on currently) phenix.refine covers the functionalities of most popular software packages and has a whole lot of unique features. Frankly, I do not know what Refmac will do with phenix.refine PDB files containing TLS. Cheers, Pavel.
