Dear Kumar
Could you please provide some information on your refinement protocol/progress 
and quality of your partial model thus far. Also, what is the quality and 
completeness of your data, in particular in the lowest resolution to 10 angs 
range.   In this way one might be able to provide more concrete feedback. 
Experience from several structures around such resolution tells me that it is 
very much worth spending time optimizing what you can reliably fit and refine. 
This approach will pay off handsomely in terms of map quality and might lead to 
modeling what now may seem uninterpretable. 
The latest Phenix and Refmac versions are great, and their B-sharpening 
protocols can reveal a lot. In addition Buster with its handling of missing 
domains in Fc can also help a lot. 
Did you try any phase improvement by density modification? No. of molecules in 
asu? Also getting some experimental phase info (even at low resolution) might 
also help. 

Best regards
Savvas
