Abstract

The HKLF5Tools program provides useful tools for structure refinement against non-merohedrally twinned datasets. The software shows statistical information on each twin component, can delete or rename twin components, merge reflection data, and add an inversion twin component to any of the existing twin components. Also, the software can convert ShelXL FCF files into HKL reflection files so that refinement against detwinned data in the final stages of the refinement becomes possible.
