A common 'user error' is to set MIND -3.5 even though the distances between heavy atoms are less than 3.5 Å. For example, in a Fe<sub>4</sub>S<sub>4</sub> cluster the Fe...Fe distance is about 2.7 Å, so MIND -2 would be appropriate. A disulfide bond has a length of 2.03 Å so then MIND -1.5 could be used to resolve the sulfur atoms, however if DSUL is used for this purpose MIND -3.5 is required. | A common 'user error' is to set MIND -3.5 even though the distances between heavy atoms are less than 3.5 Å.

If heavy atoms can lie on special positions (as is the case with an iodide soak in a space group with twofold axes) the rejection of atoms on special positions should be switched off by giving the second MIND parameter as -0.1 | If heavy atoms can lie on special positions (as is the case with an iodide soak in a space group with twofold axes) the rejection of atoms on special positions should be switched off by giving the second MIND parameter as -0.1 . | ||

-t values of 3.0 or more switch to more accurate but appreciably | |||
slower tracing algorithms, this is recommended when the resolution | |||
is poor or the initial phase information is weak; -a10 is preferred. | |||
In case of side chain tracing with -O, sequence will be docked | |||
and output only once CC>30 so poly-alanine tracing scores | |||
can be used to identify solutions as before. | |||

=== How to tell SHELXE about NCS in a molecular replacement solution PDB file === | |||
(communicated by Isabel Uson) Insert a line | |||
REMARK 299 NCS GROUP BEGIN | |||
before the ATOM (or HETATM) lines of each NCS group (e.g. chain), and insert the line | |||
REMARK 299 NCS GROUP END | |||
after the last of these. The -n option is not needed then. The output of SHELXE should tell you about the fact that it understood the NCS specification. | |||
