If you are looking for reflection files, the tricky part is that in CNS format they did not include the unit cell parameters. Just to locate them, it may be helpful to know that they contain a header that looks like this

NREFlection=     49238
ANOMalous=FALSe { equiv. to HERMitian=TRUE}
DECLare NAME=FOBS                   DOMAin=RECIprocal   TYPE=REAL END
DECLare NAME=SIGMA                  DOMAin=RECIprocal   TYPE=REAL END
DECLare NAME=TEST                   DOMAin=RECIprocal   TYPE=INTE END

so if you are in *nix environment something like this

egrep -rl '^[ ]DECLare NAME.*DOMAin=RECIprocal' .

I am sure perl masters will laugh at my awkward attempts at using regular expressions.

Cheers,

Ed.

I have been presented with the problem of locating protein data for a structure which was refined here ten years ago with the CNS program. Unfortunately I have never used this program so do not know what type of files I am looking for (or how many files).
Any suggestions please
