> I agree that more information to referees is desirable, & I've often
wanted to see the coordinates and the structure factors to check things.
But to follow up after publication, there are still a lot of structures
deposited without structure factors - why is deposition of structure
factors not compulsory? And who can change things so that

This is probably an idiot newbie question, but the vast majority of
structures I've seen in the PDB w\ "structure factors" only have
amplitudes.  Granted, you could calculate phases from the model; but
shouldn't a structure factor be a complex number instead of a real number?

I'd think there should be the experimental phases, or at least model
phases with the weighting scheme the authors used for their final maps for
it to be called a structure factor...but evidentally I'm wrong.
