[phenixbb] Problem with R-free assignment

[Pavel Afonine]

Hi Jose,

> In order to reset ADPs to an average value, shall I use:  set_b_iso=30 ?

phenix.pdbtools model.pdb set_b_iso=30

will do it. If you have atoms with ANISOU then convert them to isotropic 
first:

phenix.pdbtools model.pdb convert_to_isotropic.

No need to do this. Either you run with the default values that are 
determined automatically, or let the program optimize them in which case 
it will try an array of values and pick the good one. See relevant (and 
most recent) paper discussing this here:

I am not sure if "reconstructed" Fobs(+) and Fobs(-) from FP and DANO is 
exactly the same thing as genuine original Fobs(+) and Fobs(-). In any 
case, all refinement does it refines against the values you give it. In 
case you have Fobs(+) and Fobs(-) (or FP and DANO) phenix.refine will 
compute anomalous difference map for you. Whether refining against 
Fobs(+) and Fobs(-) or F=(Fobs(+) + Fobs(-))/2 has benefits is not 
clear, unless you refine f' and f'' for anomalous scatterers.
