I wrote that - is a constant a Gaussian? Anyway that is how I got 5 - and it is the

9-parameter Cromer-Mann approximation..

And Yes - each component is added to the B value to build up the real space 
atomic density.

as you show.

Dear All,

I read in SFALL docu that a "2- or 5-Gaussian"
approximation for SFs is used - I quote from SFALL docu:

begin----------------------------------------------------------------
    a1*exp(-b1*s*s) + a2*exp(-b2*s*s) - 2 Gaussian approximation
                                                 (Agarwal, 1978)
or as:

a1*exp(-b1*s*s) + a2*exp(-b2*s*s) + a3*exp(-b3*s*s) + a4*exp(-b4*s*s) + c
                                      - 5 Gaussian approximation
-------------------------------------------------------------------end
Note: 1) The second formula is a 4, not 5 Gaussian approximation - Is it the 9-parameter Cromer-Mann approximation? 2) If so, one would need to convert this (reciprocal space) scattering function into real space e-density when making the map to be FFTed:

rho(r) -> FT -> f(s)  <-this f(s) is what the scattering formula above
describes

for example from

recip: exp(-Bs*s/4) I would get FT-1 -> real:
((4pi/B)**3/2)exp(-4pi**2*r**2/B)

and use that actually to decribe the atom shape in the map generation. True?

Thx,
