Yes, the refine.py script in the eginput/gb1_rdc uses torsion angle
dynamics. The script has a comment section about expt. error scaling.
This is mentioned in the xplor-nih documentation as well. Moreover, most
papers and reviews on structural refinement using RDCs discuss this
important issue in more detail.

The other thing you need to do if you're going to fit NH RDCs together with
X-ray data is make sure you're in torsion angle dynamics mode so that the
covalent geometry is fixed. Otherwise you can always move the proton of the NH
bond to fit the RDCs perfectly and of course this will have absolutely no
impact on the agreement with the X-ray data as the X-ray scattering doesn't see
protons.

Hi Leonidas,
over fitted
I think the refinement worked fine, it's just indeed overfitted single
set of NH RDCs. It's easy to get the gb1 backbone to fit a single set of
NH RDCs by small torsion angle changes (see attached plot
refine_0_vs_start_model.png). You can see how the backbone was locally
deformed at residue Glu-15 to fit the RDC you changed from -9 to +5 Hz.
If you fit the original set of RDCs to one of the structures you
calculated, you'll see that xplor fitted very well the original RDCs and
that the ones you altered are large outliers:
calcTensor -aveType sum -normType none -plot -showRDCs
tmv107_nh_orig.tbl refine_0.sa
(see attached refine_0_fit_orig_rdc.png)
Adding the bicelle NH RDCs (attached as gb1_two_media.tar.gz) will
substantially reduce over fitting either set (rmsds are around 0.8-1.0 Hz):
calcTensor -aveType sum -normType none -plot -showRDCs tmv107_nh.tbl
refine_0.sa
(refine_0_with_bicelle_rdc.png attached). Again Lys-31 (with RDC changed
from +8 to -8Hz) stands out as an outlier.
The weight of the RDCs was high in that example to enforce agreement
with lots of RDCs in two media (including lots of small long-range ones,
with larger exp. errors).
When using a single set in a single medium you therefore need to reduce
the weight of the RDCs until the scatter in the calculated structures
matches the experimental errors, i.e. change:
rampedParams.append( MultRamp(0.05,5.0, "rdcs.setScale( VALUE )") )
to something like:
rampedParams.append( MultRamp(0.05,0.2, "rdcs.setScale( VALUE )") )
So basically you can fit efficiently your X-ray structure to a set of
RDCs (but make sure you don't over-fit it). If you have independent sets
of RDCs you can use them initially to cross validate your results and
later include them all in the refinement.
Hope it makes sense,
Gabriel

If you can tar and zip the folder containing your test (except the huge
xplor output file) and email it to me I will take a look.

thank you very much for the suggestion.
I have tried as you suggested, having random RDC values for residues
16,29,31,39,48,53 of gb1. The result was the same. Converence with perfect
correlation obs/calc without really violations.

That doesn't tell much, it's equivalent to having a 6% larger alignment tensor
and the fit has to be identical. Try to either scramble a few assignments or
add/subtract a few Hertz from just a handful of RDCs to see a difference.

by random I mean addition of 6Hz to all HN-N rdcs.

When you say random, are you scrambling the assignments, changing the RDC
values randomly by 6%, or changing their associated errors?

This is relative simple.
If one runs the tutorial-based gb1 RDC refinement protocol (refine.py) but with
hn RDCs values completely random (+6Hz noise to each), the outcome is a
seemingly successful refinement with no errors.
I did the test using just the hn RDCs.

Hello Leonidas--
while I am trying to refine a crystal structure with RDCs using the
refine.py script, I came across a weird result.
I had near perfect correlation between observed and calculated RDCs
values, which was fishy. After addition of 5Hz systematic noise to all
RDCs, i still had perfect correlation and nice convergence with no
violations(!). Initially i thought that there was something wrong with
my experimental setup (since i only used RDCs+dihedrals restrains),
but I had exactly the same result when I changed also the gb1 tutorial
RDCs values.
So to sum it up, I used the tutorial script (refine.py) and input
files for RDC refinement, regardless of how much I alter the RDCs
values (i tried up to +6Hz noise addition) I get always nice
convergence, perfect correlation obs/calc with no violations.
Is this how it should be or do I miss/mess somthing?
Not sure what's going on- we'll need more details.
best regards--
Charles
