Hi CCP4ers


I am having major problems with a TLS refinement. . .One of the things that is happening is that the B factors are being assigned to 2.0 with rfactor 80 and FOM 0.1 for some of my groups (CA or whole molecules) during say cycle 7 of the refinement. So I tried less cycles (did not work) or with just the whole molecule and CA only. Now the output is some of the B factors are assigned values too low i.e 2 to 8 whilst others seem reasonable. The latter I only got to work using a TLS refined PDB in restrained refinement with a fixed TLS from the first TLS I performed. When the TLS refinement goes bad the TLS matrix values leap to very high numbers i.e. 220 or something.

I am using refined structures (CNS refined). Has anyone ane ideas that may get this running? For instance should I "jumble" my molecule up again in a simulated anneal i.e. is it becuase my model is refined already and I am over refining? Or is it becuase the model is too small each monomer is about 15-18kDa?

thanks for any guidance

Gina
