Hi Tongqing,

apart from potential space group related issues that the other mentioned already, I can't really see anything wrong.

Here is how your R-factors compare to the other R-factors for all similar structures in PDB:

Histogram of Rwork for models in PDB at resolution 2.50-2.70 A:
    0.137 - 0.161      : 20
    0.161 - 0.185      : 143
    0.185 - 0.209      : 469
    0.209 - 0.233      : 624
    0.233 - 0.258      : 317
    0.258 - 0.282      : 65 <<<< your model
    0.282 - 0.306      : 10
    0.306 - 0.330      : 2
    0.330 - 0.354      : 0
    0.354 - 0.378      : 1
Histogram of Rfree for models in PDB at resolution 2.50-2.70 A:
    0.190 - 0.217      : 54
    0.217 - 0.245      : 281
    0.245 - 0.273      : 602
    0.273 - 0.300      : 582
    0.300 - 0.328      : 104
    0.328 - 0.355      : 21 <<<< your model
    0.355 - 0.383      : 6
    0.383 - 0.410      : 0
    0.410 - 0.438      : 0
    0.438 - 0.465      : 1
Histogram of Rfree-Rwork for all model in PDB at resolution 2.50-2.70 A:
    0.002 - 0.012      : 17
    0.012 - 0.022      : 67
    0.022 - 0.031      : 164
    0.031 - 0.041      : 312
    0.041 - 0.051      : 283
    0.051 - 0.061      : 344
    0.061 - 0.071      : 240
    0.071 - 0.080      : 139 <<< your model
    0.080 - 0.090      : 55
    0.090 - 0.100      : 30
Number of structures considered: 1651

You can try to tun it through AutoBuild in PHENIX in hope that it will rebuild it and may be improve.

Pavel,

Thanks for looking into this. Attached are the data and pdb files. I run xtriage, it reported some data problem saying my symmetry is low, should be P422 instead of P222, but HKL2000 indexing won't even pickup tetragonal SG. When we were collecting data, we noticed the diffraction in a specific rotation orientation was very mosaic, seem like a secondary crystal, but HKL2000 managed picking up the right spots. Just to add into this, another crystal in the same condition indexed as P222, but b axis was doubled. That data set could not be refined further either.

Don't spend too much time on this, I will have APS beam time on Friday, so I may just fly there to get another data set.

Thank you again,

Tongqing

Hi,

if you send me the data and model then I will have a look. I have some hypotheses about why this is happening but before I say something I would like to hava a look at the data.

Hi Everyone,

I have some problem in refining a structure. The data goes to 2.4A (with some 30% completeness at 2.15A), the structure was solved by MR with Phaser, refinement was done with Phenix, but the r and r-free are now staying at 26% and 32%, even with all possible waters and missing fragments added. Data was collected at APS at cryo condition. One thing I noticed during HKL2000 data processing was that the chi^2 were way too high at lower resolutions shells, I had to adjust the default error model in HKL2000 to get the chi^2 to around 1, but this adjustment reduced the overall I/sigI ratio a lot (from around 20 to 5).

The quality of electron density maps looks fine to me for a 2.4 A data set and I was able to build all the missing CDR loops for the antibody in the complex. I am lost now, should I just re-collect a new data set?

Thanks,

Tongqing
