I would be careful with Rfactors at the early stages of refinement, especially in the presence of twinning (apparent or real). You can see weird behaviour of Rfactors in this presentation:

www.ysbl.york.ac.uk/refmac/Presentations/Refmac_Erice_workshop.ppt, slides 18-20. In short if you have perfect twinning (you seem to have perfect twinning along one axis, the second axis seems to be ghost) and you have modelled twinning then random R-factor could be as low as 40%. I.e. even if your Rfactor after refinement is around 40 you cannot be sure that you have solved the structure. Best strategy would be to analyse electron density very carefully. Can you see some new features that are not in the model? What happens if you remove several residues and refine? Do they come back.

If you want you can send your data and I can try to analyse here to see what is going on

Garib

Dear Collins and all,

Thanks for the reply. Please find the following pdb header. For your information, this is after refmac5 with twin-refinement option selected. This is the best R values that I'm getting. Cutting resolution does not help much in getting the Rs down...

>when you say that the Rfree is 0.4, what statistic are you quoting? For all of your data or the highest shell It is clear from the data reduction statistics that your data do not go to 1.57 angstroms. There are no data at that resolution. The <I> is 1/2 of the error; <I> 24 and error about 40. The Rmerge for the shell is 59% which is close enough to random for me to have little confidence in it. >It would help us if you just cut and paste the statistics into the question. >You are right, the density looks great. There is something funny about the statistics if this is a normal 2fo-fc map.
