I would like to thank Justin for his summary of this topic, which I'm sure many people found of interest, and is very much in the spirit of the bulletin board. I would just like to correct one factual error, in that it has been possible to specify anisotropic resolution limits to MOSFLM

Hi Everyone, I echo Andrew's thanks for the summary offered by Justin. I would like to mention another way to trim anisotropic diffraction patterns of the weak patches 'at source', as it were, in MOSFLM, by specifying a sigma cut off applied to each image. from the manual: RESOLUTION [ lowres

Just to add my two ha'porth. I discussed this some years ago with Garib, just after I'd added the anisotropic cutoff to the resolution limits in Mosflm (mentioned by Andrew below); as I remember (and this is an invitation to Garib to contribute and correct me here!), the answer went along

Hi Mohinder, Are you having problems because the CCP4I_TCLTK environment variable is not set correctly? From the shell, you can check ~$ echo $CCP4I_TCLTK /usr/local/bin ...so you should have a tclsh binary there: /usr/local/bin/tclsh Otherwise, check the troubleshooting

To judge the significance of the value of a bond length, you cannot rely on global measures of precision. You need the standard uncertainty of this particular distance in this particular crystal. Refmac will not perform this calculation for you. Shelxl will. It is certainly more cumbersome

Hi Ivan- Since you most likely have the data to back it up and I assume you have the computational firepower to do it, why don't you run a full matrix refinement in SHELX to get estimates of bond lengths and their deviations? It's worked for me in calculating carboxylate C=O bond lengths to
