To Paul,
No, I used the mtz format map file in coot.
TO Pavel,
I will send you the files tomorrow. The command I used is the simplest one:
phenix.refine input.pdb input.mtz.
By the way, the same thing happened to one of my colleagues here a while
ago. She solved the problem by updating to the then new 1.5 version.
Thanks you guys for the quick replies.

Yea Phil, You have got them
I was accused several years ago for over-fitting Rfree !!!!!!!
The bad thing is that to publish you have to avoid arguing with these
post-crystallography era referees.
Today they ask meaningless question " I am novice to crystallography, teach
me how to minimize Rfree"
Tomorrow they referee you papers and make meaningless remarks about gap
between R and Rfree
" Your R factor is 17% and Rfree is 24%, it rase question"
geeeeek!!!!!! what question?????

I do worry a bit about the fetishisation of R-factors, to the point where
I get the impression that some people think that the object of refinement is
minimisation of Rfree. The aim is to produce the "best" model consistent
with the data, and the most important tool is looking at the maps on the
graphics, in conjunction with validation tools analysing consistency with
what we know about stereochemistry (Ramachandran, rotamers, bumps etc). Also
is your model consistent with your initial experimental phased map, if
available? The Rfree is a useful guide, but no more than that.
My (admittedly superficial) experience of changing weights, freeR
selection, resolution limits, NCS, etc in refinement is that often you can
spend some time doing this, maybe improve the R-factors a bit, but end up
with a model which is indistinguishable from the previous model when
superimposed on it.
I'm fed up with referees telling me my structure must be wrong because
the Rfree is "too high" (and I haven't followed their particular pet
protocol), when I know that it is essentially correct, and as good as I can
make it.

Hi Francis,

Hi Phenix developers/gurus,
I got a SAD structure, the experimental map (overall_best_denmod..mtz) from
Autosol looks great. I then built the model and used phenix.refine to
refine
the model using the "exptl_fobs....mtz", which worked well as shown by the
lowered Rfree. However, the map from the refinement makes no sense at all,
totally featureless. Using the same refined model and mtz,
phenix.model_vs_data did make the right map. I have tried both phenix 1.5
and 1.6. Any clue?
Thanks,
