Hi,
Just a newbie question:
Could someone explain what might have gone wrong in this case? I guess
the structure factors should not change anyway! I am a bit confused
because I have used solve resolve several times for experimental
phasing, never had such a problem, on the other hand, have not heard
about density modification for MR apart from one posting (from Prof.
Lawrence Perl I think).
Is it by any chance that the FOMs were highly overestimated and that
creates a problem with Maximum likelihood? That sort of reminds me of
what I had heard for SHARP-solomon in a couple of instances..
Any insight would be highly appreciated..
Regards, Partha
