Re: [ccp4bb] how to decide an ideal Weight matrix value in REFMAC

2010-09-22 Thread Ian Tickle
(1). Can I say the X-ray weighting is optimal when it yields the smallest Rfree, meanwhile RMS-Z(bonds) is smaller than 0.85 - 0.146*resolution (angles also maybe)? The weighting is optimal when the free likelihood is maximised with respect to the weights, or equivalently when the negative log

Re: [ccp4bb] Effect of NCS on estimate of data:parameter ratio

2010-09-22 Thread Gerard DVD Kleywegt
Hi Ian, First, constraints are just a special case of restraints in the limit of infinite weights, in fact one way of getting constraints is simply to use restraints with very large weights (though not too large that you get rounding problems). These 'pseudo-constraints' will be

Re: [ccp4bb] Effect of NCS on estimate of data:parameter ratio

2010-09-22 Thread Pavel Afonine
I agree with Gerard. Example: it's unlikely to achieve a result of rigid-body refinement (when you refine six rotation/translation parameters) by replacing it with refining individual coordinates using infinitely large weights for restraints. Pavel. On 9/22/10 1:46 PM, Gerard DVD Kleywegt
