MERUN takes in specifications for a MEDENS run to produce an initial direct space electron density map which is to be refined by MEFFIT. In the cycles of refinement the initial map is adjusted toward compliance with fixed structure moduli and the corresponding phase information is kept as calculated phases. During the cycles of refinement difference maps will be generated by the FOURR program and new calculated phases and moduli will be produced by RFOURR.

Purpose

MERUN sets up the XTAL input control lines required to run MEDENS followed by the requested number of cycles of RFOURR; FOURR; MEFFIT; followed by a final RFOURR. The main purpose is to simplify the multiple use of other Xtal programs and to automate, to a large extent, the I/O file switching.

MERUN facilitates the process of extending and refining phases by the process of taking an initial electron density map and computing the constrained exponential electron density distribution for it by means of the program MEDENS. The output map may then be reverse Fourier transformed by the program RFOURR to produce structure factor phases and moduli corresponding to the maximum entropy map from MEDENS. From these moduli and phases and the observed structure factors it is possible to calculate a difference Fourier map using the program FOURR. This difference map and the original maximum entropy map are combined by use of the program MEFFIT to produce a modified maximum entropy map. This new map, when reverse Fourier transformed, will show moduli in better agreement with the observed moduli. If the initial phase set was of limited resolution, the resolution of each successive map will be higher at a rate dependent upon the acceptance criteria set for MEFFIT and RFOURR. In general several cycles will be required to achieve good agreement between the calculated and observed moduli and to expand fully their phasing and the resolution of the map.

Method

MERUN outputs line images to the line file aux. These images are either generated by default or may be passed through as model images from the MERUN input. The lines generated by MERUN may be automatically added to the Xtal input stream or may simply be printed for inspection.

Printed Output

It is possible to print the control lines from MERUN for inspection, but the main output will be that generated by the programs MEDENS, RFOURR, FOURR, and MEFFIT during the subsequent events. The output from these programs can be restricted by using the li option in the MERUN line.

Example

This example run shows the generation of a low resolution electron density map from the saly test deck followed by a maximum entropy refinement and then by production of a final high resolution map. At the end a peak search and model building is done.
