if the spacegroup is the same as wt and the cell params are similar, just do 
rigid body refinement and forget about MR (I’ll never understand people running 
MR needlessly in these cases…apart from wasting computer time it risks placing 
the new solution in a different place than the wt)
if the spacegroup is different, check cell parameters in the pdb and/or run 
Contaminer to see if you’ve crystallised a contaminant
try MR with packing restraints relaxed or switched off, just in case the mutant 
has loop in a new orientation that might clash with crystal neighbours in the 
old orientation.
