Dear Robbie and ccp4bb, Is 1N1 not a different type of problem though, where a chirality restraint is valid and so the atom labelling is important? Are you saying that we should always use the cif dictionary, even when there are errors? Surely in the SO4 case, as Ian said, it is better to

@JISCMAIL.AC.UK Subject: Re: [ccp4bb] Chiral volume outliers SO4 Hi Andrew, Indeed, provided the atom labeling is correct the chiral volume restraint actually says whether the groups on the ring a axial or equatorial. The cif files do not define that any other way, so without the restraint

Well - the problem may well be here - in the REFMAC dictionary (see $CLIBD/monomers.s.SO4.cif ) the chiral volume calculation uses at the order of the O numbering around the S atom . So if your O numbering is not right handed you will have the chiral volume calculated as positive, not negative.

Hi people, We are refining a structure with sulfates and we are getting the Chiral volume outliers issue. I understand the problem as being computational where the oxygens are in reality equivalent but computationally named differently. I have seen the recent Acta Cryst D paper (April 2012 -
