phenix.refine
Contents
1. Introduction
phenix.refine is the macromolecular refinement engine of the Phenix suite. It features
- Individual as well as grouped B factor refinement
- Anisotropic or isotropic+anisotropic B factor refinement
- TLS refinement
Many other options/features are highlighted in the manual
phenix.refine is typically run as
phenix.refine mypdb.pdb mydata.mtz
or (when a parameter file is present) as
phenix.refine lysozyme_refine_002.def
2. Know Bugs
None
3. FAQ
3.1. How does one pick waters?
Specify the keyword ordered_solvent=True on the command line, or change this variable in the .def file.
3.2. What does the line "REMARK twinned : True" in the output PDB file mean?
This indicates that the data might be twinned. Please run
mmtbx.xtriage mydata.mtz <options>
to get more details. See also mmtbx.xtriage for more details.
