Dear Appu,

If it is possible to solve your structure with currently available MR models 
using any currently existing technology, one of these programs will be able to 
do it.  Throwing yet another program at the problem won’t help, especially an 
older program that was good in its time (and is still, to be fair, cutting edge 
for some things) but is not up-to-date with current molecular replacement 
algorithms.  

Some structures can’t be solved by molecular replacement.  We can now do a 
better job of predicting which ones will be very hard, and this is given in the 
expected LLG output of Phaser.  If that says that the problem is expected to be 
very difficult, you haven’t made any mistakes in running the programs, and 
you’ve tried all the strategies recommended by the authors of those programs, 
then your efforts will be better spent in trying to grow better crystals or 
doing experimental phasing.

Best wishes,

Randy Read
