Thanks for those pointing out my cut and paste error. Below are the correct numbers. The first term of the formfactor is almost twice as high compared to the other version. I suspect it is because the newer version is using the wavelength in the calculation, and the old version didn't.

Any help from the authors would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Well, I guess one shouldn't change versions of refmac in the middle of a structure refinement. What are the major differences between . 0034 and .0066 ? I noted that form factors for the Se atom have changed dramatically even though I'm using the same " anom formfactor SE -8.13 5.05 " command. Is this because the program is now using the wavelength on the .MTZ file ?

with .0034:

SE 8.8706 2.4098 5.8196 0.2726 3.9731 15.2372 4.3543 43.8163 2.8409

with .0066:

SE 17.0006 2.4098 5.8196 0.2726 3.9731 15.2372 4.3543 43.8163 -11.7969

The other major difference is that explicit weight that I was using = 0.25 is weighting the geometry much more in .0066 compared with . 0034. Also the refinement is not as well behaved as it was in 0.0034.

What has really changed?
