- I have been doing MIR calculations using the program MLPHARE from the CCP4
- program suite (V 2.1.3), and would appreciate answers to any of the following
- questions:
-
- During these calculations, I do refinement and calculate phases on all cycles
- (say 10). I notice that some statistics relevant to the refinement are output
- at the end of cycle 9, (what the program calls the last refinement cycle), and
- again for the last phasing cycle (cycle 10). My (simplistic) understanding of
- phase refinement is that the heavy-atom parameters are adjusted while minimiz-
- ing the difference betwen FPH(obs) and FPH(calc), and then phases are
- calculated based on these new parameters. If this is so, why are statistics
- given for the final refinement and phasing cycles seperately, and which of
- these are the ones that should be quoted for purposes of publication, etc ? I
- have noticed that the statistics (ie. the Cullis R-factor and phasing power)
- from the last refinement cycle (given as cycle #9) are always quite a bit
- better than on the last phasing cycle (#10). The other thing is that the
- occupancy and/or temperature factor shifts for a given heavy-atom are quite a
- bit larger on the final phasing cycle than on the final refinement cycle.
- Looking at all of the previous cycles (except #10) it would seem that
- everything has converged properly. My final question is as to why it is not
- possible to output "most probable" phase values to the mtz reflection file,
- although there is a PHIPR LABOUT card in the program ? The message I get back
- when I ask for PHIPR is that it is an invalid program label, or something
- related to that.
-
- Any information will be very much appreciated !
