This control file indicates rigid-body refinement for each of the two domains of hen egg white lysozyme. In this crystal form there are two molecules in the asymmetric unit. As usual they are named A and B.

The first COMBINE statement defines the N terminal domain of chain A, containing residues 1 through 92, as one rigid-body. The second domain contains residues 92 through OXY and is made a rigid-body with the second COMBINE statement. (OXY is the name of the final residue of a polypeptide chain and contains the lone oxygen at the C terminus.) The other two COMBINE statements define the equivalent rigid bodies for chain B.

The resolution limit was dropped to 4Å and therefore a SET statement forcing the value of tex2html_wrap_inline713 was required. As the note in the control file states this SET statement is even required with all the data. This fact indicates some problem with the data set and should be noted in the control file in this fashion to prevent the problem from being forgotten. Both the B factors and the occupancies are held constant because the Steepest Descent method will only allow one kind of parameter to vary at a time.
