It would be nice though if imosflm did the killing for you - it happens to me a large fraction of the time on windows. (I imagine windows doesn't make mosflm's life easy, mind you.) phx On 04/02/2015 05:11, Keller, Jacob wrote: No--but thanks to you I just found it hanging in the process

Hi Bernhard, You're right, it's a Babinet-style correction to the SigmaA curve for the effect of neglecting bulk solvent in the model. We gave a formula in equation 19 of the main Phaser reference (McCoy et al., 2007), but actually we've changed the form of this since then. It looks like the

Hi Tim Although my SHELX comment was in jest, your point illustrates the programs versatility. You are also right about the flat(ish) form factor for the proton. To get to a resolution where there is a cross over would require a very short wavelength. Other processes would then dominate. A nice

Hi Fellows, I cannot find the proper reference for the implementation of bulk solvent corrections in the Phaser Molecular replacement likelihood functions. For the unplaced model, it can only be a Babinet model to improve the scaling, and I believe that is implemented via a Babinet

Hi Colin, I understood the jest, of course. Now I got curious: At 2theta=0, the scattering from H is 1e, so I assume the the scattering length for its nucleus is 1e/1860 = 0.00054. According to the data from Phil Coppens web site, the atomic scattering factor for H reaches this value at sin

Hi Chiara, We also have an Avant at room temperature. My recommendation would be to forgo using a water bath. Instead you can achieve a prep near enough to 4C by doing 2 things: Firstly, keep your columns stored in the cold room or a fridge to pre-chill them before use. Secondly, make your
