Wow! Those are two pretty amazing structures.
For those of you who haven't had a look, the ordered molecules are in
layers with *huge* gaps in between, much greater than in 2hr0.
And yet both of these structures were solved with experimental phasing
(SIRAS) unlike 2hr0, and the data is to higher resolution.

With regards to our structures 1H6W (1.9A) and 1OCY (1.5A), rather than
faith, I think the structure is held together by a real mechanism, which
however I can't explain. Like in the structure Axel Brunger mentioned,
there is appreciable diffuse scatter, which imo deserves to be analysed
by someone expert in the matter (to whom, or anyone else, I would gladly
supply the images which I should still have on a tape or CD in the
cupboard...). For low-res version of one image see

two possibilities I have been thinking about:
