Xray / neutron joint refinement

Hi, I have just done a joint x-ray / neutron refinement in Phenix using 5PTI structure and data from PDB. The input contains H atoms, with positions as refined against neutron dataset. In the resulting model, all H atoms ended up in 'idealized X-ray' positions (C-H distance of 0.96A), just as they would if I performed refinement against xray data only with riding model for H hydrogen atoms. Is it possible to run joint X-ray neutron refinement in such a manner that final H atoms positions are based on neutron data? Regards, Anna Makal

Hi Anna, which version of Phenix are you using? If it is from before 2012'ish, you may fix this by updating Phenix. Cheers, Tim On 01/16/2015 05:32 PM, Anna Makal wrote:

Anna,
If possible try a different, perhaps more modern structure than 5PTI.
