REFINEMENT

Refinement with REFMAC5 requires reflection data, a set of model coordinates, and a library defining the restraints for standard groups. If a non-standard group is encountered (in the REVIEW mode), the user has to build up a set of restraints through the use of SKETCHER/LIBCHECK.

The plain rectangular boxes represent tasks as in the CCP4 Graphical User Interface, the steps to take for refinement.

The ellipsoids represent the input and output to and from the various tasks.
