Dear All,
I am nearing the end of refining a structure at 2.2A. I did a final
run with refmac without TLS giving:
Ncyc Rfact Rfree FOM LLG rmsBOND rmsANGLE
rmsCHIRAL $$

NB. The geometry may be over-constrained, but this is not the issue (or
at least I don't think so).
I then did a run with TLS, resetting the B-factors to constant, but
everything else the same.
This gave:
Ncyc Rfact Rfree FOM LLG rmsBOND rmsANGLE
rmsCHIRAL $$

As you can see the TLS refinement improved teh R-factors by 2% (but not
noticeably the maps).
However I am curious about the blip in the rmsBOND and rmsANGLE values
once real
refinement started. And it never go back to what is was before.
Any comments as to why this happens after TLS refinement?
thanks
Stephen
