Dear all

The P21 unit cell is a=86.499 b=38.554 c=94.027 al=90.0 be=97.92 ga=90.0
The C2 unit cell is a=103.932 b=62.253 c=96.305 al=90.0 be=111.934 ga=90.0

Phaser and the other programs do give me solutions but the LLG in Phaser is about -1000's and the highest TFZ score I get is 4.9, and for molrep the Rfac is about 0.600's. I even tried to do rigid body with the solutions obtained and I get an increase value for Rfact and Rfree of 55-56%.

Thank you all for your suggestions. I'll use them right now.

Teresa

Dear all
I have a molecular replacement problem and I really need your help with this one. My protein crystallized in C2 instead of P21 like it did before. Now when I tried to do MR to place it in C2 it doesn't work, I get no solution. This protein has been crystallized in P212121, P31, P43 and C2 and it has two loops in different regions that depending on the packing, they'll show density so it is flexible. When I crystallized it the first time in P21 and used a publish model I had no problem at all to place it, just right now. I've have tried molrep, phaser and phenix with different resolution ranges (40-3.0, 20-3.0, 10-3.0) and different models, i.e. publish structures or
the one I got at P21. I also tried doing rotation first at different
resolutions then compare the peaks obtained and picked the ones that are consistent and give that for translation search and yet no solution. The resolution is 2.4 A and the Matthews coefficient predicts 3 molecules in ASU with 43.6% solvent. I also tried searching for 2 molecules just in case that
it is high solvent content (62.5%) as monomer and as dimer and yet no
solution. The data itself processed well and I've processed in HKL and d*trek and used both processed files and yet no solution. Completeness is 96.9% overall and 82% (2.49-2.40) shell. Redundancy is 3.5 overall and 2.6
at the(2.49-2.40) shell. Here is the table from HKL:

Would you please, please give me some tips, tricks, advice, encouragement?
