Hi Daniel,

Try this

sftools
read lowres.mtz
read highres.mtz column FreeR_flag       (or the name you use for Rfree)
write lowresFreeR.mtz
exit

This reads your low resolution data set, adds and mergens the Rfree column from the high resolution and write them all out to the new mtz. If you want you can remove the high resolution Rfree entries by

select resol > 2.218    (assuming 2.218 is your max res)

To find out max resolution type

checkhkl

If the original rfree set had a random selection of 5% of reflections than it should again be approximately 5% in the new dataset. If you want to confirm this then you must count the number of zeroes in the column and compare it to the total number of reflections. If you use 1 for the working set flag then the checkhkl table should tell you that the average FreeR_flag column value is about 0.95 (5% zeroes & 95% ones). You can also use

plot col FreeR_flag versus resolution

and you get the percent as function of resolution. If your working set reflections have different values than just using 1, then you must set them to one before looking at the stats. You do that by typing

select col FreeR_flag > 0
calc col FreeR_flag = 1
select all
plot col FreeR_flag versus resolution

Bart

PS: for the perfectionist, you should add a

select col Fp present

before looking at the stats to ensure they are based only on the reflections for which an Fobs observation exists (assuming your Fobs column name is fp.

Dear All,

I am trying to copy an existing Rfree set from a high resolution (1.9 A) to a low resolution dataset (2.8 A). I followed the instructions from the ccp4 documentation (under FreeR information). Running cad, I limited the resolution for the input mtz to 2.8, so as not to copy Rfree column values for the higher resolution reflections.

How can I make sure that the Rfree set is 5% for the low resolution dataset, after copying the Rfree set. How can I obtain information about the size of the Rfree in the resulting mtz file (mtzdump does not provide this information)?

Is there a program to do that? I have tried DATAMAN (from the Uppsala suite) but failed to load the mtz file from ccp4:

DATAMAN > re m1 xtal_5_1__001_SCALA_CAD_2.mtz
 File type ? (*) ELEANOR
 File   : (xtal_5_1__001_SCALA_CAD_2.mtz)
 Type   : (ELEANOR)
 Format : (*)
 ERROR --- While reading reflection file
 Nr of reflections read : (          0)

Also, I ran uniqueify with the -f option after running cad. This seems reasonable if the copied Rfree set does not make up more than 5% in the final (low-resolution) dataset.

I am concerned about the situation if the copied RFree set exceeds 5% in the final (low-resolution) dataset and about an even distribution of the Rfree reflections in the resolution bins. I could only find an option to remove reflections and change the bin distribution in the DATAMAN manual. Is there an alternative way in ccp4?

What is the optimal way to do this?

Regards,

Daniel
