Your beta and gamma angle in P1 are awfully close to 90 degrees. Are you sure about P1 ? Could it be C2 with beta of 104 ˚ ? I'm assuming the CRYST card below belongs to your structure right ? Jürgen - Jürgen Bosch Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health Department of Biochemistry & Mol

Hi, Collins, Thanks for the valuable comments. I tried refineing using 2.0A cutoff, but the problem persists. (No Molrep solution is found with R less than 0.7, ). Could you please show me how can I indentify and eliminate the catastrophic error that I'm having with the data? Regards,

Hi, This is a case of small protein packed in P1. One question may be raised if you have all molecules added to your model? Based on the cell constants and the information of ~60 residues you provided, the solvent content is ~70%, which is not that normal for a small unit cell (18 Å or

I would be careful with Rfactors at the early stages of refinement, especially in the presence of twinning (apparent or real). You can see weird behaviour of Rfactors in this presentation: www.ysbl.york.ac.uk/refmac/Presentations/Refmac_Erice_workshop.ppt, slides 18-20. In short if you have

Hi Jeremy, Just looking at the stats: 1- you could try to remove the low intensity reflections (are they reflections, or are they just indices - it's difficult to say), i.e. the first 4 shells in your tables dealing with intensities; 2 - you could try to truncate the high resolution to 1.6 A.

Dear Collins and all, Thanks for the reply. Please find the following pdb header. For your information, this is after refmac5 with twin-refinement option selected. This is the best R values that I'm getting. Cutting resolution does not help much in getting the Rs down... HEADERSWISS-M

Given your unit cell parameters + high Rsym I'd say you have an indexing problem. If you try P2, what happens? I suspect that you might have something as simple as incorrect beam center position and while integration works, scaling fails (the only way you are getting away with it is by choosing P

Have you used pointless to examine possible spacegroups? It is possible to get one lattice point out and get a very high rsym pointless will check these possibilities for you The cell could be this: C m m m 39.6 149.9 18.2 89.9 90.0 90.0 0.10 [-k,-k-2l,h] You need to go back to the

You mention that your Rsym is 0.6 - this seems outrageously high (except if the 0.6 is just for your outer resolution bin). If 0.6 is indeed the overall Rsym you have a basic problem of unit cell and space group assignment to reconsider. Check if your processing accounts for all spots and check

> Rsym is 0.6 I'd be seriously worried about this. An R-sym value of 0.6 in the entire resolution range (I assume) means that your reflection intensities do not match. This is the value of the Rsym I could expect in the high resolution bin - in the age of maximum likelihood refinement, not in
