Dear Dilip Badjugar, Perhaps it may be good to take a look at the unmodelled blobs and see if there is any large densities left unexplained. Also how does the Rmerge vary with the resoln ? Is your data good upto 1.7A? Regards and wishes Krishnaswamy On 13 Oct 2013 04:33, "CCP4BB automatic digest system" < lists...@jiscmail.ac.uk> wrote:
