Too many peaks, all with similar Z scores isnt a very good sign - one
prefers high contrast but it is hard to make a rule - it depends on many
factors; number of molecules in asymmetric unit, similarity of model and
new structure, data quality, etc etc..
The automated procedures, MrBump or Balbs, will do an exhaustive search
and report the best solution. Usually if that refines to ~ 4x% you are
on the right track.

Dear All,
Wish you all a very Happy New Year, 2010.
Can anyone give me some information regarding the number of peaks in
molecular replacement.
What is the co-relation between no of peaks and the solution in molecular
replacement and where the no. of peaks are indicated in molrep or phaser
program and what does it indicate?
Thanks in advance for the help.
James.
