[phenixbb] TLS refinement

Hi Reza,

this may mean several things. Perhaps TLS group selection isn't optimal 
or incorrect? phenix.find_tls_groups relies on B factors to annotate TLS 
groups. Were B factors meaningful (refined before running 
phenix.find_tls_groups)?

You can try weight optimization.

Values of TLS matrices cannot be interpreted directly, they can be 
positive or negative. This is discussed in great details here:

http://journals.iucr.org/d/issues/2015/08/00/rr5096/rr5096.pdf

You can check if TLS matrices are physically meaningful by running

phenix.tls_analysis model.pdb

If it runs all the way till completion - all is  good. Otherwise, in 
case of nonsensical TLS it will stop and tell what's wrong.

Perhaps you enabled TLS refinement too early (model isn't good yet)?

Pavel
