{Reference Type}: Journal Article {Title}: In some cases more complicated approaches to refinement of macromolecular structures are not necessary. {Author}: Dauter Z;Wlodawer A; {Journal}: IUCrJ {Volume}: 11 {Issue}: 0 {Year}: 2024 Jul 1 {Factor}: 5.588 {DOI}: 10.1107/S2052252524005803 {Abstract}: The manuscript `Modeling a unit cell: crystallographic refinement procedure using the biomolecular MD simulation platform Amber' presents a novel protein structure refinement method claimed to offer improvements over traditional techniques like Refmac5 and Phenix. Our re-evaluation suggests that while the new method provides improvements, traditional methods achieve comparable results with less computational effort.
