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.

Did you refine the model after the molecular replacement? 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.
