It is a bit of a mystery to me why two structures of supposedly similar resolution with equally acceptable maps can give very different r factors - one sticks in the low 20s and another gives a smug 17% .. I guess one could go back and analyse the model against the data and time.. Eleanor On

Trigonal space groups have a choice of two arbitrary "settings." Were all those 180 frames collected in one pass? What were the integration statistics? What was the phasing method? Did you have a pre-existing structure*, molecular replacement, anomalous, or what? * This is the one I am conc

Hi Sam, some obvious questions: 1-Space group right? ( i´d say so from your R values...) 2-Is your data good throughout all of the 180 frames? whats Rsym if take only 100? 3-how good/complete is model? Missing parts, residues, base pairs?? 4-evaluate your refinement strategy... HTH

Hi every one I have some crystals in the space group P3121. I collect 180 frames of data. My crystals do not diffract better than at most 2.0 angstrom, but the Rf barely goes below 23%, and Rfree also remains somewhere between 28-33%. I have tried to refine my data as much as I can. I do not
