I use CCP4i, refmac5 for the refinement using data of 2.45 angstrom. My R and Rfree is 0.182 and 0.267 respectively. For calculating Rfree ,5% of random data (1715 reflections) was used . So I see there is a difference of about 8.5% between R and Rfree. Is this difference reasonable ? Any idea h

Hi, Apart from the issue of what to tell referees, there are two slightly different practical issues. One question that has been addressed is how precise the estimate of Rfree will be for a certain number of test set reflections, and this has been discussed in papers by Axel and by Ian T

Hi- I am afraid that the real issue might be that the real question is: 'How do I tell the referee of my paper that 1500 reflections are enough?' Something along the lines of a statement like: "It is generally accepted by the X-ray crystallography community that 1000-1500 are far enough f

2008-06-16 Thread Mark J. van Raaij
Dear All, It has recently been put to me that 5-10% of reflections should always be set aside for calculation of Rfree. However, when one has, say, 200 000 reflections (high resolution and/or large asymmetric unit), that seems to me to be a waste, because it would mean removing 10 000 to 20
