Hi Shiva,
  Not directly related to the problem you reported, but I wanted
to warn you that in refmac 5.5.0072 the default is for the keyword
TLSD WATERS ADD 
to be applied.  This keyword tells refmac to assign all of
your water molecules to existing TLS groups.  (It does this quietly
without any notice as to which waters are assigned to which 
groups in the TLS header of the pdb, TLSOUT or to the log file
and no listing of the default setting of this keyword in the logfile.)
So unless you included the non-default keyword
TLSD WATERS EXCLUDE
then your waters have residual B's as well in your pdb file
and TLSANL cannot convert them to full B's since it has no
record of which waters belong to which TLS groups.  Thus the
output from TLSANL will be a file with mixed full (on protein
atoms) and residual (on water atoms) B-factors.
  If you did not give the keyword TLSD WATERS EXCLUDE, then
the only method I know to ensure that the B-factors on the waters
are properly converted to full-B is to re-run your last refmac job
and add the keyword 
TLSO ADDU
which will give you full B's on your output. (Note that you should
not use this file for input into another round of refmac refinement
-- unless you do a B-factor reset first).

Regards,
Mitch

Subject: [ccp4bb] TLSANL total B factor question

Dear Crystallographers

I am trying to  print out my total B factors using TLSANL (version: 6.1) in CCP4- 6.1.1.   My TLSANL’s input file.pdb is coming from refmac (version: 5.5.0072) using the TLS & restraint refinement option and isotropic B factors. The TLSANL’s output file.pdb contains the following ATOM and ANISOU records as an example.

REMARK   3  TLS DETAILS
REMARK   3   NUMBER OF TLS GROUPS  :    2
REMARK   3   ATOM RECORD CONTAINS SUM OF TLS AND RESIDUAL B FACTORS
REMARK   3   ANISOU RECORD CONTAINS SUM OF TLS AND RESIDUAL U FACTORS

ATOM     88  C   ASN A  14       0.748  -5.841  -6.258  1.00 35.84           C
ANISOU   88  C   ASN A  14     5335   4549   3734      0      0      0       C
ATOM     89  O   ASN A  14       0.807  -6.941  -6.845  1.00 35.04           O
ANISOU   89  O   ASN A  14     5229   4375   3709      0      0      0       O


I am not able to understand why my ANISOU record contains ‘0 0 0’ for the anisotropic component.  Something is not correct and I'm not sure why I am not able to print out my total B factors.

I would appreciate it if someone could tell me what is going wrong and how can I print my total B factors.


Thanks

Shiva Kumar
