SF-Tool: a Crystallographic Experimental Data Validation and Conversion Tool

Convert SF file and/or check your model coordinates against the structure factor data.
  1. Upload your coordinate and structure factor files and indicate their file format.
  2. Choose which checks and/or utilities you would like to run.
  3. Select the Run button.
Note: If you are not certain of the format/program used, select the Guess SF file format? box before running any checks. If you have refined your data using the TNT or SHELX suites, or another program not included in our drop-down list, indicate if the data has been calculated as amplitudes (F) or intensities (I).

Input your files and select file format: (help)

Check your model against your structure factors:

X-ray data using Sfcheck
X-ray data using Refmac
X-ray data using Phenix
Neutron data using Phenix
Neutron and X-ray hybrid data using Phenix

Perform other data checks:

X-ray data quality assessment using phenix.xtriage
Validate twined structure using Refmac5
