Dear Rob,

at 1.5A resolution, you can comfortably run shelxe. If there is some
useful phase information in your solution, this should complete
your model, remove model bias and the resulting composition might tell
you the proper space group. Rename your PDB-file into 'mymodel.pda'
(pda, not pdb), convert the mtz to 'mymodel.hkl' and run
shelxe mymodel.pda -a10 -s0.4 (where  0.4 corresponds to 40% solvent
model. You don't need to be very accurate).

Good luck,
Tim
