Dear all,
Thank you very much for your replies.
The spacegroup of my crystal is p212121. The data was processed with D*TREK. I 
soaked my crystal in KI and collected the data using in-house x-ray machine. I 
used SnB to find the position of heavy atom (I) and refined the heavy atom and 
did solvent flatten in SHARP.  The model was auto-built using ARP/WARP in CCP4. 
Then I manually revised the model in Program O.

        
I have checked the logfile of TRUNCATE. It seems no twining in my crystal. I 
also have tried to refine my model in Refmac5 with restraint refinement and it 
seems no improvement in R factors.

Any further suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Best
Mousheng Wu

Hi Mousheng,

what's your space group ? Are you certain you are in the correct space 
group ? How did you solve your structure ? De novo or MR,. if MR have 
you tried composite omit maps and ensured that what you have modeled is 
indeed correct and not model bias from the MR solution ? Is there a 
significant drop in I/sigI ? Then you might use that as your resolution 
cutoff - data processed with HKL, Mosflm or XDS ?
