Hi Phil,

if you have an idea where the missing 20% should be, probably the best way to get some improved electron density there is to use BUSTER which allows masking regions of expected electron density in its ML refinement. I haven't used BUSTER for a while, so please, check http://www.globalphasing.com for more infos.

Good luck,

Dirk.

Something I have never found to work to my satisfaction has been solvent flattening after molecular replacement where the model is somewhat partial (i.e. more than 20% of the new structure is not modeled by the MR solution). In a case I was trying out for someone else a few months back I used DM with a variety of automatic and more manually-generated solvent masks, and this produced no significant gain in the phases to my eyes. So I am left with the suspicion that I'm not using the best methods.

Does anyone have any advice ? - I've found Coulombe and Cygler's 1997 paper (Acta Cryst D53, 426-433) - but I imagine that there is other information out there that an hour's Googling has yet to turn up.

Thanks
