Re: [COOT] problem with refining DNA
FYI, I just used a Matrix Weight of 2.0e-5, yes that's a weight of 0.2, on a rather poor 2.9A map generated from a PHS file (XtalView format text filecreated from the CNS omitmap.coeff map output). I have not noted any real problems with REFMAC generated MTZ files, so the weighting must be optimized for REFMAC generated maps.

I ran into difficulty as i try to move a few bases into patch of electron density that is obviously meant for them. dragging the bases with real space refine zone and/or regularize zone neither break open the phosphate back bone bounds or turn everything into knots. I know there is nothing wrong with the naming convention of my bases since I changed them from DT to Td after similar blog. Any suggestion on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Norm Hi Norm, Depending on the resolution of your data you may need to turn down the matrix weight in refinement parameters. I tipically put this down to 30 (compared to the default value of 60) and for really lower resolution (say 3 or worse) I may go as down as 20. I frequently use 6.0 or even 2.0 sometimes. Paul
