Dear Sam,
Cutting out reflections obviously means you lose information. If you are using dials to process your data, then an alternative would be to try the ice ring background modelling algorithm which may give you better results. Taking the output of dials.integrate you can do this as follows: dials.model_background integrated_experiments.json dials.integrate refined.pickle integrated_experiments.json \ background.algorithm=gmodel \ background.gmodel.model=background.pickle Then scale as normal. You can also use auspex to look at your scaled intensities to see if the ice rings are causing systematic errors.

Whether that will fix your Rfactor is a different story. phx On 04/04/2019 11:05, Eleanor Dodson wrote: You cant exclude one resolution ring in REFMAC - there would be ways to fudge the exclusion from your current file, but much safer to use a data integration tool On Thu, 4 Apr 2019 at 10:27, <herman.schreu...@sanofi.com<mailto:herman.schreu...@sanofi.com>> wrote: Dear Sam, I would remove the ice ring and reprocess the data.

Yes indeed when we looked at the plots e.g. R factor vs resln there was a sharp peak near 3.6 - 3.8 A which is where we visibly saw an ice ring on the image. Thus our first thought was to remove the ic ring. (either reprocess or can we bypass this resolution range during refinement?) The protein is 50 kDa, two molecule in the ASU, seemingly no obvious density was unassigned. We got ~30000 total observations, ~15000 unique observations. NCS restraints was applied.

I suspect you have mis-assigned your space group and as a result have a large number of copies in your asymmetric unit. Any structure can be solved in P1, but that does not mean the true space group is indeed P1. If you use P1 when it’s not actually P1, you will have an unnecessarily overparamerized model, hence the large gap between Rwork and Rfree. Questions: 1- how many copies in your asymmetric unit in P1? 2- how many atoms in your model vs number of unique reflections? 3- if more than one copy per asymmetric unit, are you imposing NCS restraints during refinement? -Eric On Wed, Apr 3, 2019 at 1:41 PM Sam Tang <samtys0...@gmail.com<mailto:samtys0...@gmail.com>> wrote: Hi everyone again Hmmm I think we have solved a structure in P1 space, to 2.5 A. However after refinement the Rfree stuck at 33%-35% with Rwork around 26%. The structure was solved by MR and current model seems to fit density well. In Refmac log I found that at the resolution corresponding to high R there may be a solvent/ice ring. Since imosflm should be able to exclude ice rings, I am not 100% sure whether it's the cause to high R. But if this is actually the case, is there a way I can exclude certain resolution bins during Refmac (and is it an appropriate way to do so?) PS - the data is not affected by twining or pseudosymmetry as checked by Xtriage. Many thanks!
