Equations in Sections 2.3 and 2.4 of the article by Afonine et al. [Acta Cryst. (2013). D69, 625–634] are corrected.
Keywords: Phenix; anisotropy; bulk solvent; scaling.
In the article by Afonine et al. (2013) some improper notations and errors in several equations in Sections 2.3 and 2.4 have been corrected. We note that the Computational Crystallography Toolbox (Grosse-Kunstleve et al., 2002) has been using the correct version of these equations since 2013. Updated versions of Section 2.3 and equations (42), (43) and (45) are given below.
2.3. Bulk-solvent parameters and overall isotropic scaling
Assuming the resolution-dependent scale factors kmask(s) and kisotropic(s) to be constants kmask and kisotropic in each thin resolution shell, the determination of their values is reduced to minimizing the residual
where the sum is calculated over all reflections s in the given resolution shell, and koverall and kanisotropic(s) are calculated previously and fixed. This minimization problem is generally highly over-determined because the number of reflections per shell is usually much larger than two.
Introducing ws = |Fmask(s)|2, + , us = |Fcalc(s)|2, and and substituting them into (22) leads to the minimization of
with respect to K and kmask. This leads to a system of two equations:
Developing these equations with respect to kmask,
and introducing new notations for the coefficients, we obtain
Multiplying the second equation by Y2 and substituting KY2 from the first equation into the new second equation, we obtain a cubic equation with fixed coefficients
The senior coefficient in equation (27) satisfies the Cauchy–Schwarz inequality:
Therefore, equation (27) can be rewritten as
and solved using a standard procedure.
The corresponding values of K are obtained by substituting the roots of equation (29) into the first equation in equation (26),
If no positive root exists, kmask is assigned a zero value, which implies the absence of a bulk-solvent contribution. If several roots with kmask ≥ 0 exist then the one that gives the smallest value of LS(K, kmask) is selected.
If desired, one can fit the right-hand side of expression (10) to the array of kmask values by minimizing the residual
for all kmask > 0. This can be achieved analytically as described in Appendix A. Similarly, one can fit koverall exp(−Boverall s2/4) to the array of K values.
Equations (42), (43) and (45) in Section 2.4 of Afonine et al. (2013) are also updated as follows
