-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear Jeffrey,
how complete is you model, i.e. what is the ratio between the number of atoms in the PDB file (without solvent/ ligands) and the expected number of atoms as calculated from the sequence? If a substantial part of the molecule is disordered you may not be able to get a much better model. What is the R-value and Rfree? If you have placed many water atoms you may have hovered out the difference density allowing you to further improve your model.
