I think one of the problems was with the OXT atom that CNS includes on the C-terminal residue. This atom was not properly refined on Refmac (I am saying that only considering the resulting coordinates). I also did what Partha suggested and run a few cycles of idealisation. That worked also.

The problem now is that Refmac is giving me higher Rfree (but not Rfactor) than CNS. I usually get better results with Refmac, that is the first time I get worst results with it (still not running TLS). Geommetry now is OK.

Thanks to all,

Mario Sanches

Is there a symmetry clash or some such serious error? When the geometry explodes like this it is worth reading the log file carefully to see what geometric problems are listed with the input coordinates.

Dear all,

I am refining a low resolution structure (3.0A) in refmac. The problem is that no matter which value I choose for matrix weight the RMSD for bonds stays higher than 0.3A (yes, I didn't mistype it, it is really 0.3A). I have tried matrix weight as low as 0.01 and also AUTO.

Since there is two subunits in the assymetric unit I am refining using NCS. I also tried turning it off but the problem persists. The coordinate file I entered to refmac came from CNS were I had no problem with geometry. Since refmac has some advantages (like TLS refinement) I always try to change to refmac at the end of the refinement.

Is there something I am missing? Thanks in advance for all kind of suggestions,

Mario Sanches
