This keyword defines how finely the molecular transform will be
sampled : If p, q, r are the dimensions (in Å) of the smallest orthogonal box that can
fully enclose the search model, then QS will calculate the molecular transform by placing
the model in an orthogonal
cell with dimensions sp, sq, sr, followed by Fourier transformation of the corresponding
electron density distribution. The higher the value of s, the finer the transform will be
sampled, the more physical (computer) memory you need for storing the transform. On the other
hand, the finer the sampling the higher the accuracy of the calculated Fc values.
I think that you should aim for a value of SCALE of at least 4.0. If you have enough
physical memory it may be a worth-while exercise to try to
increase SCALE to about 8.0 and to give INTErpolation_scheme NONE (see below).
The keyword GRAUto will attempt to automatically determine suitable values for both
SCALE and MAXGridspacing, aiming for a value of SCALE of 4.0.
