Hi Francois,

your mtz file doesnt appear to have any phases, so Coot (or whoever) cannot make a map. What Coot cleverly tries to do in such a case is to use calculated phases from the given pdb (and mtz) file. So it runs refmac with the pdb and mtz to retrieve this phase information. There is no refinement within refmac going on as such (see below: NCYCLES 0).

Hello,

When I run coot in order to read the experimental MTZ corresponding
to the PDB I am viewing, I got the following messages (attached is long lines original log):

I am afraid coot is refining my molecule instead of just displaying the map. Am I right?

Thanks a lot,
Francois.
