Not sure if anyone has mentioned this but for example what sort of maps are you using for your refinement. Have you tried density modification, or simulated annealing and or omit maps. These can really be useful for finding parts of your model that are not consistent with the data. Good luck! Gina

Dear all Thanks for your replies. And thanks to all those who noticed that I had posted wrong unit cell dimensions for P3221 (which I picked from the header of the template pdb). My space group is P3221 (unit cell 54.8 54.8 100.1 90 90 120). Data quality appears fine. I/sigI=4.9; Rmerge=0.088; Completeness=99.9 (outershell values are: 2.3; 0.333; 99.9 respectively) As mentioned above, I solved the structure by molecular replacement and there appears to be no twinning. There are no major unmodelled densities. A couple of small blobs are present, which I think may be glycerol or some other molecule from my crystallization buffer but I still need to model these. Other than that, there are no major issues. I was just wondering if the present R-factor values seem alright for a 1.9 ang data, which many of you have suggested it does? Thanks again. Any other suggestions/comments are still welcome.
