[phenixbb] heavy atoms

[Pavel Afonine]

Hi Tiantian,

it is pretty popular question. Here is copy-paste from my previous reply 
to similar question:

"""
a few things to consider:

1) Fourier truncation ripples:
     - CCP4 Newsletter
http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/newsletters/newsletter42/content.html
       On the Fourier series truncation peaks at subatomic resolution
       Anne Bochow, Alexandre Urzhumtsev

     - Pages 52-55 here:
http://www.phenix-online.org/presentations/latest/pavel_validation.pdf

     - Oliver Einsle, et al. Science, 1696 (2002) 297

     - Page 267 Figure 4:
       Acta Cryst. (2004). D60, 260-274

2) Try:
  - refine individual anisotropic ADP for these atoms (and isotropic for 
the rest);
  - occupancy;
  - define charge in input PDB file;
  - if it is anomalous scatterer use and refine f' and f''.
"""

Hope this helps.
Pavel.
