if, in fact, you do have more molecules in your asymmetric unit, then I would suggest using EPMR to finish your molecular replacement. This has been very successful for me when I have used a partial molecular replacement solution locked as a static structure.

Best of luck,

Clint

Dear All :

I got a pretty difficult case (I guess) of Molecular Replacement. My
protein crystallize in a P21 spacegroup with cell dimensions of around
100 x 200 x 220 A. By Matthews analysis the ASU could accomodate from 16
to 18 molecules of the protein (Molecular weight around 38 kDa). The
resolution of the data is around 2.7 A.

I have run Phaser and it found 10 molecules within the ASU, but the
program failed to find more. I have made and NCS averaging with these
molecules to build up a more precise model, and tried again Phaser with
the same results. I have also tried Molrep with the same results.

Does anybody experienced a problem like this ?. Any suggestion of
strategies to find the rest of the molecules that will complete the
ASU ?.

Any help will be sincerely appreciated.

Cheers

Francisco
