Definitely agree with what Tim is saying below. Running refinement right after MR can be very dangerous, actually giving you a much less informative map. Discovered this the hard way on more than one occasion.

If so, do not do so. Look at the maps directly and try to correct for any errors you see, especially considering the difference maps (at 3 sigma). If you run refinement without looking at the maps it would smoothen the differences between the MR Model and your data and that is not desired at this stage.

The space groups for the wild type protein is P2(1)2(1)2(1) for one crystal and C222(1) for the other. The conditions of crystallization for the two proteins are different.
