To | == Radiation damage correction == | ||
To "switch on" radiation damage correction ([http://dx.doi.org/10.1107/S0907444903006516 K. Diederichs, S. McSweeney and R. B. G. Ravelli (2003) Zero-dose extrapolation as part of macromolecular synchrotron data reduction. ''Acta Cryst.'' '''D59''', 903-909]) it suffices to use the CRYSTAL_NAME keyword. '''The CRYSTAL_NAME parameters of different datasets do not have to be different'''. If they are different, this results in more degrees of freedom (namely, the slopes of the reflection intensity as a function of dose) for the program to fit the observed changes of intensities which are induced by radiation damage. However, if the datasets are based on the same crystal, or the datasets are based on crystals from the same drop, it is reasonable to assume that the slopes are the same. | |||
Example: | Example: | ||
OUTPUT_FILE=fae-merge.ahkl | OUTPUT_FILE=fae-merge.ahkl | ||
INPUT_FILE= ../fae-ip/xds_1/XDS_ASCII.HKL ! | |||
CRYSTAL_NAME=ip | |||
INPUT_FILE= ../fae-ip/xds_2/XDS_ASCII.HKL ! same crystal, but translated along z | |||
CRYSTAL_NAME= | CRYSTAL_NAME=ip | ||
This is the recommended way as it avoids overfitting. | |||
If, however, the crystals represent different heavy atom soaks, it is advisable to give a different CRYSTAL_NAME to each dataset. Example: | |||
OUTPUT_FILE=hg.ahkl | |||
INPUT_FILE= ../xds-hg/XDS_ASCII.HKL ! a mercury soak | |||
CRYSTAL_NAME=Hg | |||
OUTPUT_FILE=pt.ahkl | |||
INPUT_FILE= ../xds-pt/XDS_ASCII.HKL ! a platinum soak | |||
CRYSTAL_NAME=Pt | |||
