Dear Eleanor, no I was not talking about a cubic SG (in my case, as an example, it's actually orthorhombic). I think that the most likely explanation is that there was indeed a bug, at least on Refmac's version 5.3.0032 Here go some selected fragments of a 0032 log (no confusion with aniso atomic displacement factors):

Indeed, now I've updated to Refmac_5.3.0040, and the problem is solved (Rfactors, as expected, are a bit better now; same input, last cycle's figures : >------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Restraint type N restraints Rms Delta Av(Sigma) >Bond distances: refined atoms 3149 0.017 0.022 >Bond distances: others 2177 0.002 0.020 >------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > >----------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Overall : scale = 1.154, B = -0.003 >Babinet"s bulk solvent: scale = 0.169, B = 300.000 >Partial structure 1: scale = 0.403, B = 43.715 >Overall anisotropic scale factors > B11 = 0.13 B22 = 1.51 B33 = -1.64 B12 = 0.00 B13 = 0.00 B23 = 0.00 >----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > >----------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Overall R factor = 0.2046 >Free R factor = 0.2424 >Overall figure of merit = 0.8444 >----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ). I believe version 5.3.0032 was the first announced release when going from 5.2 to 5.3, at the time the very useful keyword 'anom formfactor' was added among other changes (but maybe I'm wrong here...). Anyway, of course we should be ourselves aware of keeping updated with the latest versions of the software that we use. A lesson for me as well, is to look carefully at the whole output of the programs, not overlooking parameters/figures that we tend to leave as 'unimportant' when they certainly are (even if it's not the Rfac, which tends to become _the_ figure to look at in refinement...). It might be useful for others though, to check on the Refmac version they're now running and see if these messages are pertinent to them. cheers, Ale On 20/09/2007, Eleanor Dodson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I cant answer - but this version certainly generates anisotropic scales.. > > We have ccp4.6.0.2 installed) > > > ############################################################### > ############################################################### > ############################################################### > ### CCP4 6.0: Refmac_5.3.0037 version 5.3.0037 : 03/29/06## > ############################################################### > User: eleanor Run date: 18/ 9/2007 Run time: 09:34:20 > ..... > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Overall : scale = 0.480, B = -7.297 > Partial structure 1: scale = 0.383, B = 84.682 > Overall anisotropic scale factors > B11 = -1.37 B22 = -1.37 B33 = 2.06 B12 = -0.69 B13 = 0.00 B23 = 0.00 > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > You havent got a cubic spacegroup have you? > > Eleanor > > > Alejandro Buschiazzo wrote: > >Hello, > >I wonder if there was any direct answer to the question that Lari made > >a couple of days ago. > >Sorry if I missed it, but I believe there wasn't any response to the > >ccp4bb... > > > >thanks > > > >Alejandro > > > > > >Lari Lehtio wrote: > >>Dear All, I just came back from the beam line and started to > >>continue my work on a structure that I solved while collecting other > >>data.
