Hi Peng Zhang, The presence of radiation damage might cause some problems. Do so see any obvious features in the difference map? Another problem (although I doubt it would cause such a big difference) might be the fact that f' andf f" prime are incorrect. Try and refine them (CNS or phenix.refin

Dear Prof. Fan, I do not think that this is a neccesarely an incommensurable structure. A lot of structures have translational NCS close to a translational that would make the space group higher and/or the primitive cell smaller. If one has C2221 and one destroys the centring operation x,y+1/2,z+
