Dear Bernhard, I think, the main difference of an unmodelled part between the mask bulk solvent correction and the Babinet bulk solvent correction is, that the mask approach can use quite detailed structural information, whereas the Babinet approach uses only two additional scale factors.

Hi Dialing, 86% favoured can actually be quite okay for an initial model. As long as it doesn't have 14% in the disallowed region, the vast majority of residues will be correct, or close enough to the correct answer that they can be fixed easily. Of course, such a model will need tweaking,

What still evades me is, why exactly is the Babinet immune to these effects of excluding/masking-out unmodelled parts? The Babinet correction is also a function of the MODELLED part, just the opposite sign. So an incomplete model de facto equals an over-estimated solvent. Is it just the high

While most (all?) CCP4 programs use the MMDB library for reading PDB files, handling of incorrect PDBs is not consistent. Default settings in MMDB (and in clipper) are strict, but most of the programs use a combination of options that make it more liberal (SetFlag()). Marcin On Mon, Jan 12, 2015

the top-hat profile is one of the reasons why inhouse machines produce better quality data than synchrotrons. However, the often much increased resolution you achieve at the synchrotron is generally worth more than the quality of the data at restricted resolution. Cheers, Tim Several

Dear Rohit Kumar Singh, you can remove a couple of residues before and after the outlier and rebuild it. You can also switch on Ramachandran restraints in Coot and run real-space refinement. If this does not help, I would delete a single residue within the region in question, run real-space
