Folks,
Don't take this as an argument with software people - I have a side note about structures.
Back in the day when I used to solve Structural Genomics structures, we almost always knew substitution rate from masspec and Se always refined to lesser occupancy. Could it be the decay instead?
Cheers,
N.

I heartily endorse this suggestion.
I have been wanting a way to instruct refmac to accept a user-defined
f' term since about forever.
Failing that, it would be nice if the ccp4i interface to refmac had
a slot for specifying an alternative ATOMSF file. As it is one has
to edit the command script by hand in order to change ATOMSF.
A follow-on request is that the entire scattering factor table,
including such user-specified values, be dumped in the output
cif and pdb files.
