Hi, After running VOIDOO, you will get the log file with cavity volume information. It has the average volume and the sigma volume information, but along with that If you look at the end of the log file, you will find the Cavity volume on plot grid (A3) provided separately. This is the volume

Hi Manish, But then volume is biased by the plot grid size one chooses and not the converged volume. In short, one isn't even using the results of volume refinement because one'd get the same answer from the same grid size for the same orientation (given the same probe radius). Using the final

If I go back to my SCALA mtz and run 'Truncate', I get a completely different B value at 27.3, which is obviously much better. However, why did I have to do this, and where would I find this value at the end of my refinement? i.e. did I miss a line in PROCHECK or my final REFMAC log file?

Hi Jim You can just run Truncate again, exactly as you did before, but this time using your truncated.mtz file as input, since it contains the same IMEAN/SIGIMEAN columns output by Scala. It will also give you another output mtz file which should be identical to your input mtz (but I haven't

Hi Phil, My understanding is that the IMEAN/SIGIMEAN columns output by Truncate are simply copied over from the input columns as output by Scala (possibly scaled by the Wilson scale to make them absolute), or have I got this wrong? If so wouldn't it be better to rename the columns (e.g. IEXP,
