When there are riding hydrogens then refmac gives rmsd for them seperately (like rmsd for others. That is atoms not included in refinement)

Does anyone know if Refmac includes riding hydrogens in rmsd calculation? Because if it does, then the rmsd will indeed be lower for Refmac, since these bonds are kept at ideal length.

Hi ccp4bb !!!

Does the rmsd estimation (for eg. rmsd_bonds ) depends on the program we use ??

Example : shifting from Refmac to CNS. There appears to be an increase in rmsd of bonds even without refining the structure in CNS. Is the estimation methods are different or am i doing something wrong !!

Thanks for your valuable inputs.

regards
john
