(Fwd) Re: RANTAN

maria,

I think you'll have seen this on BB but I wonder if the snippets of info should
go in RANTAN documentation.  Dirk is smart guy so if he need to ask there is
probably a gap.

Dear Dirk,

(1) |Fph-Fp| should be used to calculate E-values.
(2) RANTAN works with E values only.
(3) You should calculate E-map with WT1*E*exp(i*PHI1), then run PEAKMAX to
    find out heavy atom positions.

Cheers.

Jia-xing.
