Simulated annealing produces better models than extensive conjugate-gradient minimization. Map correlation coefficients were computed before and after refinement against the native penicillopepsin diffraction data (Hsu et al., 1977[link]) for the polyalanine model derived from Rhizopuspepsin (Suguna et al., 1987[link], PDB code 2APR). Correlation coefficients are between [\sigma_{A}]-weighted maps calculated from each model and from the published penicillopepsin structure. The observed penicillopepsin diffraction data were in space group [C{2}] with cell dimensions [a = 97.37], [b = 46.64], [c = 65.47] Å and [\beta = 115.4^{\circ}]. All refinements were carried out using diffraction data from the lowest-resolution limit of 22.0 Å up to 2.0 Å. The MLHL refinements used single isomorphous phases from a K3UO2F5 derivative of the penicillopepsin crystal structure, which covered a resolution range of 22.0 Å to 2.8 Å. Simulated-annealing refinements were repeated five times with different initial velocities. The numerical averages of the map correlation coefficients for the five refinements are shown as hashed bars. The best map correlation coefficients from simulated annealing are shown as white bars.
