I prepared this on Sunday, here it is now:- Well, I was 'shaken but not stirred' to see a program 'fake_Fobs'. However James' posting on the Rfactor gap in MX is a more respectable, Sunday morning, topic. I tried to find the previous threads on this via google and couldn't. So apologies to all

Hi James, I guess it depends on what you put in your simulated Fobs. With phenix.fake_f_obs I can add lots of stuff including H, TLS, small random rigid-body shifts averaged over ensemble of MD simulated models, alternative conformations, libration motions of side chains around bonds, etc.. etc...

Hi Alastair, since you mentioned it... In our article "On the analysis of residual density distribution on an absolute scale": http://www.phenix-online.org/newsletter/CCN_2012_07.pdf one of the conclusions was that we could not reproduce pronounced features on the solvent/macromolecule border show

thanks for the reference to the script and additional discussion. I've looked through the archives a bit but couldn't find an answer to a question that's been on my mind for a while so my apologies if this revisits well-trod ground. One of the potential sources of disagreement contributing to

I feel like I should point out that there is about a 20% difference between "Fcalc" and something I would call a "simulated Fobs". Fcalc is something that refinement programs compute many times every second as they apply 100 years worth of brilliant ideas to make your model (Fcalc) match your

sftools is another option (for applying randomly distributed errors to Fc). Depending on what you're simulating, it might be worth pointing out that while it's relatively easy to simulate Fo, it's more difficult to simulate sigFo realistically. This matters for any simulations using sigma_a (

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Dear Alastair Fyfe, sfall can generate amplitudes from coordinates, but I guess you know this. Out of curiosity: What exactly to you mean to "simulate an observation" as opposed to calculate amplitudes from a model? It sounds nearly like an oxymoron t

Hi Alastair, phenix.fake_f_obs might be of use depending on your goals. It's not a fool-proof end-user tool (in terms of convenience of use, docs, etc etc etc), and may require knowledgeable tweaking before you get a meaningful outcome; if interested talk to me off list. I used it when some one ch
