Re: [ccp4bb] Problem in MAKE_U_POSITIVE

2009-09-04 Thread Bernhard Rupp
This is interesting. Would it be possible to have refmac
provide some info WHICH U (i.e. atom) got negative EV ?
I did not find anything and I use monitor many per default.

Thx, BR

Subject: Re: [ccp4bb] Problem in MAKE_U_POSITIVE

If one of its eigenvalues of the ANISOU matrix is negative, the matrix is
non-positive definite
leading to the MAKE_U_POSITIVE problem.

I understand that this could indicate that an atom is sitting on a saddle
point
between two minima and that the atom could be split into two conformers. I
had this happen once.

This means that some U tensors are non-positive definite (i.e. no nice
thermal ellipsoid). If by transient, you mean they have gone away by the
last cycle of refinement, then you can maybe ignore them. But probably,
you need to adjust your restraints, e.g. the SPHEricity restraint (under
Geometric parameters in the gui).

[ccp4bb] Problem in MAKE_U_POSITIVE

2009-09-02 Thread Bernhard Rupp
Hi there - 

 

a transient message appears during anisotropic refinement 

CCP4 6.1: Refmac_5.5.0071

Problem in MAKE_U_POSITIVE

that seems to have no further consequences. I guess that means that some

elements in a U tensor lead to a divergent behavior, but details evade me. 

 

Just curious..
