Dear users, I was using Refmac 5.5.0102 (ccp4- 6.1.2) for refining the structures, I was supposed to do one more roundof refinement with final model but unfortunately system crashed and i had to install the new version of ccp4 (6.2.0) which has refmac-5.6.0117. So my doubt here is - can I do the

Dear Kavya In principle you should be able to use newer version for old pdb file unless you have pdb v2 namings for DNA/RNA etc. New version of ccp4 has more dicitionary elements (1 or so). Older version was compiled for 3000. That is the reason why old version does not work with new

Qs 1) Why do you want to limit your data? Most applications allow you to only use a specified sub-set - see GUI tasks for resolution limits. In general you may want to run moleculer replacement or exptl phasing at a limited resolution, but for refinenement or phase extension it is good to

Dear Crystallographers, it occurred to me that most datasets, at least certainly since the advent of synchrotrons, have probably some degree of radiation damage, if not some huge degree thereof. Therefore, I was thinking an exposure-dependent parameter might be introduced into the atomic models,

Dear Lu Yu, SHELXL is usually very stable so there must be an error in your .ins file, but it is difficult fo us to guess what it is without seeing the full file. A common error that can cause such instability is caused by a long-standing bug in Coot, which sets some occupancies in the .ins

As you observe, radiation damage is local, but the effect is - to different extent - on all Fs i.e. global (all atoms and their damage contribute to each hkl). So one would need additional local parameters (reducing N/P) if you want to address it as such, your use of occupancy is an example (even

I was thinking actually the dose-dependent-occupancy would really be a tau in an exponential decay function for each atom, and they could be fitted by how well they account for the changes in intensities (these should actually not always be decreases, which is the problem for correcting radiation
