Hmm - Firstly: your final FC PHIC calculation are just wrong. I cant
tell why without more details - is the SG set correctly, because those
phases cannot reflect the SG symmetry.. Can you send the log file?
For the scaling against Fobs Qs. It looks to me as though you are using
values of Fobs already scaled to match the model by some program.. The
scaling algorithms in different programs are subtly different - there is
no clear "correct" answer in to how to handle a dolvent continuum for
instance - so I suspect the differences reflect that.
In sfall (and I think most programs) the model B factors are changed to
give best agreement with the Wilson scale for the observed data, and a
scale factor is applied to the Fobs to bring it to match the fcalc.
So I guess sfall has changed the overall B for the model slightly
changing the higher resolution Fcs a bit..

Dear all,
First of all just "hello" to everyone since I am new to this forum. Not
being a crystallographer, bear with me if I say something crazy.
I was recently tinkering with Sfall and noticed that the Fcalc output by
Sfall have different values depending on if one feeds Sfall with an
input mtz file containing Fobs ("mode sfcalc xyzin" vs. "mode sfcalc
xyzin hklin") and also depending on if one tells Sfall to scale the Fobs
or not ("noscale" on or off). This puzzles me as I would have thought
that since Fcalc are calculated from the atomic coordinates, they should
be affected by neither the Fobs fed to Sfall nor the scaling of the Fobs.
As an example, Sfall calculations on PDB:1AHO. In each case the Fcalc
column is the penultimate one. Here the difference in Fcalc between
scaling or not scaling the Fobs is not so pronounced, but it still
puzzles me that there would be any change at all. Also, in this case
when the Sfall is run without hklin, there is a substantial change in PHIC.
1. HKLIN was provided and scaling turned on.
