Projects and problems like this are clearly a justification for asking to deposit not only the results from data processing, but also the raw data frames. These would allow developers to improve the models underlying their algorithms, and to find those corner cases where the algorithms break. Th

I agree with the general points that Mark makes. For the basic problem to find out whether the model quality (and R-values) is limited by the data quality, you can compare CCwork with CC* - if CCwork is significantly lower than CC*, then this means that either your model could in principle be im

I can't help but suggest to also try PDB_REDO for tuning refinement. http://xtal.nki.nl/PDB_REDO/index.jsp One of the things you get, is exactly what Pavel explains below, how your structure looks in comparison with others in similar resolution, but also with the PDB_REDO data bank structures.

Chris, First, I would try NCS restraints even at ~ 2 A. Second, any outliers in your diffraction data set that might skew the R values? Third, have you checked that your refined bulk solvent model is reasonable? Axel On Feb 21, 2014, at 6:13 PM, Chris Fage wrote: > Thanks for the assista

Hi Chris, I personally would go with your "thick" dataset. 90% completeness is not stellar, but in my opinion not detrimental, either. I had one project that persistently yielded crystals that diffracted to rather high resolution (2.3), but in one direction no lunes were discernible and - cons

Thanks for the assistance, everyone. For those who suggested XDS: I forgot to mention that I have tried Mosfim, which is also better than spot fitting than HKL2000. How does XDS compare to Mosflm in this regard? I am not refining the high R-factor structure with NCS options. Also, my unit cell di

Chris, what you get is not unheard of but clearly you are not in majority: at around 1.95A resolution distribution of R-factors in PDB is: Histogram of Rwork for models in PDB at resolution 1.85-2.05 A: 0.093 - 0.118 : 3 0.118 - 0.143 : 75 0.143 - 0.168 : 821 0.

Dear CCP4BB Users, I recently collected a number of datasets from plate-shaped crystals that diffracted to 1.9-2.0 angstroms and yielded very nice electron density maps. There is no major density unaccounted for by the model; however, I am unable to decrease Rwork and Rfree beyond ~0.25 and ~0.30,
