Traditionally, least-squares methods have been used to refine protein crystal structures. In this method, a set of simultaneous equations is set up whose solutions correspond to a minimum of the R factor with respect to each of the atomic coordinates. Least-squares refinement requires an N x N matrix to be inverted, where N is the number of parameters. It is usually necessary to examine an evolving model visually every few cycles of the refinement to check that the structure looks reasonable. During visual examination it may be necessary to alter a model to give a better fit to the electron density and prevent the refinement falling into an incorrect local minimum. X-ray refinement is time consuming, requires substantial human involvement and is a skill which usually takes several years to acquire.
