Hi Neeraj: Terese Bergfors advises several things re PEG: buy gas chromatography quality, don't mix brands/batches, store it in dark, +/- flush with nitrogen, store aliquots at -20 deg C. Reference: Terese Bergfors (ed), Protein Crystallization: Techniques, Strategies, and Tips. A Laboratory Manu

Hi Junyu It is possible at 6 Å resolution, what I would try is to cut your data and try searching in different resolution ranges 20-7 or 25-6.5 , if you are uncertain about your search model, try with a higher RMS value try going up to 2.0. If you have any data, even at very low resolution, wi
