Hi Nat,
I'm running version 1.8.2-1309.
I could try this again if I need the newer version. I'm currently completing my thesis and have processed and reprocessed this data so many times that. At this point it's getting more important that I wrap up my degree than getting this processing to work 100%.
I'm hoping that someone else has had this problem with B values before and could offer an explanation like "It's due to gas pressure, or sometimes B values are just low and that's acceptable". That way I can include it in my thesis so that I don't get grilled by my committee.

I have produced xenon derivatives for SAD phasing of several standard proteins by placing them under xenon gas pressure and then immediately flash freezing in liquid nitrogen. Everything has worked out nicely as far as successful phasing, nice models, and low R factors.
Now I've noticed that the B values have decreased from initial processing values. Several rounds of manual changes and phenix.refine have caused B values to decrease each round of refinement to values of around 10 (I guess 20 is a more common value). Does anyone know why this is happening or what the explanation might be?
Which version are you using? If it's 1.8.2 or earlier, could you please update to the latest nightly build and try again? -Nat _______________________________________________ phenixbb mailing list [email protected] http://phenix-online.org/mailman/listinfo/phenixbb
