My personal experience is ( I frequently re-refine structures I cite if all the data for that exist in PDB) that PDB possesses a significant number of artifacts unsupported by reality but by the wild imagination only. These artifacts are originated from the modest, good and excellent

Dear Guenter, There is a very convenient option in SHELXL for cases like this where it is reasonable to assume that some distances are equal but one does not know how long they are: the SADI equal distance restraint. For an Fe4S4 cluster this might look like: SADI_FS4 0.02 Fe1 S2 Fe1 S3 Fe1 S4

Please make sure you source arpwarp_setup.csh (or .bash) after you source CCP4, this should cure the problem. Instructions on how to source arpwarp_setup are printed when you install ARP/wARP with the install.sh script. Best regards, Victor Sridhar Prasad wrote: I installed CPP4 version
