Hi Jeorge -

Something seems to have changed for the worse in this MR run. In your earlier posting, where you failed to find a solution in P222, your log file had solutions with RFZ=23.4, generally a clear indication of a correct rotation function solution. (You didn't include this log file as text, so I can't extract the relevant lines to show you.) But in this run, your log file shows a solution with RFZ=5.7, which is much more marginal. The space group choice for the translation function shouldn't affect the results of the rotation function. What else did you vary - is the search model different?

In addition to what Roger suggested, other indications that you have the right solution come from the translation function tables. You should have a very clear distinction between the correct solution and incorrect solutions, like this:

   Fast Translation Function Table: Space Group C 1 2 1
   ----------------------------------------------------
   #SET #TRIAL      Top    (Z)    Second    (Z) Third    (Z)    Ensemble
      1      1  4328.56 (29.62)        -      - -      -    3gi8_fab
      1      2  4294.35 (26.16)        -      - -      -    3gi8_fab
      1      3  4252.29 (27.13)        -      - -      -    3gi8_fab
      1      4  3746.99 (13.34)  3725.62 (12.73) -      -    3gi8_fab
1 5 3467.72 ( 5.02) 3467.43 ( 5.02) 3464.58 ( 4.94) 3gi8_fab
      1      6  3545.59 ( 6.93)  3482.22 ( 5.27) -      -    3gi8_fab

Trials 1-3 are correct, while trials 5-6 are incorrect. (Trial 4 is probably also correct, but wasn't tested further by Phaser.)

You also want to check that the packing test did not throw out one of these high-scoring translation solutions (e.g. your RFZ=23.4 solution). If that happened, this could mean you need to trim away some loops in your search model.

Good luck,

Matt

Hi, all

As per the suggestions, I hv done with the phaser MR and the solution has come with screw axes P 21 21 21. here I am attaching the output text from Mr and sol file. So Now should I go ahead with this? Please suggest.

Thank you very much in advance !
