Hi Yu Seon Chung,
- I'm not sure I understand why you don't want to use your original file
with reflections...
- If you start the refinement with non-MTZ file (for example, CNS or
SHELX) or the input data was scattered across multiple files (Fobs in
one file, HL coefficients in another file, free-R falgs are generated or
in third file, etc...), then phenix.refine consolidates all input data
and writes it out into a file ending with "_data.mtz". This is the file
that you should use in future runs. The data in "_data.mtz" is not
processed, that is no sigma or resolution cutoffs are applied to it
(even though you used these cutoffs in refinement).
- phenix.refine has an option to output calculated structure factors,
such as Fmodel, Fcalc_atoms, Fbulk, Fmask, and some other scales, Fobs,
free-R flags, etc... The data in this file may be truncated by
resolution, sigma, etc. This file is not output by default
(export_final_f_model = mtz cns); you need to place "*" in front of cns
or mtz to request its output. It is not assumed that you will use this
file in next refinement runs. And I presume this is the file you are
looking at.
Pavel.
