As always, look at the crystal packing of the MR solutions. That is a quick way to reject incorrect space group solutions. I never realized Phaser had the issue you described with the SGALTERNATIVE setting, but to be honest, I've always run it in "manual" mode, i.e., I set up separate jobs in a

How certain are you of the space group? I ask because in all versions of PHASER that I have used to date, it chooses the space group (when SGALTERNATIVE is set) after placing the first molecule and with additional molecules it then assumes the space group result from the first molecule is the c

the reindexing have no effect on the R-factor, I did indeed mean to remember to transform the co-ordiantes according to the indexing :-) On 04/10/2010, at 11.27, Ian Tickle wrote: > > On Sun, Oct 3, 2010 at 6:34 PM, J. Preben Morth wrote: > hi > remember to reindex your data to P21212 in case y

1) Rigid body refinement wont reduce R factors much more than this - start restrained refinement with NC restraints.. 2) And yes - at low resolution you could expect a large difference between R and rfree 3) With such high NC symmetry is there any possibility of another SG? Eleanor Jack Rus

A handy way to do what Paul suggests is the Zanuda server at York which will try refinement in all lower symmetries ... From the first email though two things are unclear: 1. How good was the Phaser solution (eg z-score?) ? 2. Did you only try rigid body fitting as you wrote? (I find regid b

Try a lower symmetry, e.g. P21 or P1 with one or two octamers in the asymmetric unit (well, unit cell for P1), but you already know your packing so no problem solving it. It can sometimes be very subtle and your model refinement will be the most sensitive test for the correct space group - so do

Hi all, I have collected  a data at 2.9 Å and the solved the structure using phaser . the space group comes to be P2 21 21. There are 4 molecules in Assymetric unit and an octamer is generated according to the symmetry. But after repeated rounds of rigid body refinement with REFMAC5 and model b
