Fiberblast Growth Factor crystals grow in space group P1. Since P1 is the default space group one is not required to enter symmetry operators in the control file.

This control file indicates rigid-body refinement of the positions of the atoms in the model. Both the temperature factors and occupancies are held constant. Since the resolution limit was reduced to 4Å TNT was unable to properly scale the data sets. The SET statement was used to force B equal to 0.0 and tex2html_wrap_inline713 equal to 0.8. Given this restriction TNT generates proper values for the other scale factors.

The weights of the stereochemical restraints are unimportant except for that of the bad contacts. In the early stages of a Molecular Replacement rigid-body refinement the loops on the surface of the molecule are unreliable and it is probably not wise to use these overlaps in the positioning of the molecule. The CONTACT weight should be set to zero.
