-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear Hamid,
the statistics for I/sigI and the R-value per resolution shell would shed more light than the overall values. Judging from the Rmerge in the high resolution shell the data may have been processed by somebody who still thinks Rmerge <= 30% is a good criterium for resolution cut-off. The high overall Rmerge might indicate a wrong space-group was picked with too high symmetry. If you have a copy of the unmerged data, run it through pointless, if you even have a copy of the frames, reprocess them in P1 and run the data through pointless! If these data are from an article you are refereeing please point out that Rmerge should not be published anymore and be replaced by Rmeas (alias Rrim)!
