Hi Catarina , For your final refmac refinement job, you need to include the keyword TLSO ADDU to have the TLS contribution added to the residual B-factors. This keyword can also be set from the recent version of the ccp4i GUI by checking the checkbox for "Add TLS contribution to XYZOUT" in the TLS section. (This addu output file is needed for deposition but should not be used for further TLS refinement with refmac).
Also, depending on the version of refmac you are using, it may also default to adding waters to TLS groups. If it does, then they waters will have ANISOU records after TLS refinement. Note that refmac does not update the TLS range records to reflect this change. If you want to exclude water from TLS assignment, you can also include the "TLSD waters exclude" keyword.

PDB instructions states: "As we have mentioned on the start page for autodep, entries refined using REFMAC with TLS parameters must now contain the full B-factor in ATOM/HETATM records, with the TLS contribution coded into ANISOU records." I did run Refmac with TLS parameters and, as such, I would expect that all the values necessary to pdb deposition would be on the pdb coming out from refmac. However, when I deposit the pdb a 'serious error' comes up, not allowing me to deposit the coordinates: "You will NOT be allowed to proceed for deposition unless these issues are corrected. TLS and ANISOU/RESIDUAL B-FACTORS. As we have mentioned on the start page for autodep, entries refined using REFMAC with TLS parameters must now contain the full B-factor in ATOM/HETATM records, with the TLS contribution coded into ANISOU records.Your entry contains TLS records but no ANISOU records OR Residual B-factors. Please correct this and reupload your structure for validation" I don't really understand why these supposed missing values are not already contained in the pdb file, and I can't figure out how to get them. Does anyone knows how to fix this situation? Thanks in advance! Catarina Silva
