Hi Morton, I'm sorry to make it difficult! Here are 2 formats that should work: 1. PDB format (I'm not sure why the one from cns failed...can you send me a line or two from that so I can make it work?): HETATM 1 SE SE 3 73.920 0.324 3.857 0.92 54.60 Se HETATM 2 SE SE 4 39.591 8.262 2.158 0.55 60.00 Se 2. Plain fractional xyz, with or without the word "xyz". For example see: $PHENIX/examples/gene-5-mad/sites.xyz : xyz 0.0271 0.8074 0.0657 xyz 0.0239 0.0116 -0.0965 Please let me know if this doesn't do it! -Tom T At 03:52 AM 2/13/2007, Morten Grøftehauge wrote:

Ok, I give up.

What is the correct format for a heavy atom file for AutoSOL? I've tried both the outputs from FFT, CNS pdbs and sdbs and I've tried just putting them on a line like you do for SHARP: ATOM Br - 0.0120 0.5731 0.2740 but none of them are accepted by Phenix. Any help please?
