I see, there is no consensus about my data. Some people say 2.4A, other say all. Well, I chose 2.3 A. My rule was to be a little bit below Rmerg 100%. At 2.3A Rmerg was 98.7% Actually, I have published my paper in JMB. Yes, reviewers did not like that and even made me give Rrim and Rpim etc.

First of all I would ask a XDS expert for that because I don't know exactly
what stats the XDS program reports (shame on me, ok) nor what the quality of
your error model is, or what you want to use the data for (I guess
refinement - see Eleanor's response for that, and use all data).

There is one point I'd like to make re cutoff: If one gets greedy and
collects too much noise in high resolution shells (like way below <I/sigI> =
0.8 or so) the scaling/integration may suffer from an overabundance of
nonsense data, and here I believe it makes sense to select a higher cutoff
(like what exactly?) and reprocess the data. Maybe one of our data
collection specialist should comment on that.

I have to resend my statistics.

Dear Bernhard

I am wondering where I should cut my data off. Here is the statistics from XDS processing.

Dear all,
I got a reviewer comment that indicate the "need to refine the structures
at an appropriate resolution (I/sigmaI of>3.0), and re-submit the revised coordinate files to the PDB for validation.". In the manuscript I present some crystal structures determined by molecular replacement using the same protein in a different space group as search model. Does anyone know the origin or the theoretical basis of this "I/sigmaI>3.0" rule for an appropriate resolution?
Thanks,
Bye,
Roberto.
