Dear Shenyuan,

I have two suggestions:

  1.  Is your protein a single or a multi-domain protein? If it is a 
multi-domain protein, you should search with the individual domains.
  2.  Given the low resolution, high anisotropy and expected large number of 
molecules in the asymmetric unit, you may have an exceptionally high solvent 
content, maybe >75%. Is the electron density of all molecules bad, or have a 
few molecules better electron density? If a few molecules have reasonable 
density, I would keep those and delete the molecules with bad density. 
Alternatively, I would start a MR search for only 3 or 4 molecules.

Best,
Herman

Dear CCP4 community,

I have encountered a dataset, which I thought should be easy to solve. The 
volume of the cell unit seems to be expanded after image 271, which I think is 
caused by radiation damage. After removing the last few images, the scaled 
statistics seem good with the resolution set at 3:07 A:

I used Mrbump to do the MR, most sequence identities of the starting templates 
are more than 0.85, and some of them are structures predicted from alpha fold 
2. But after refinement (including jelly-body, proSmart, TLC), the best R/Free 
R stuck at around 0.42/0.45. Inspecting the electron density map shows that the 
model does not fit the electron density well. The space group is P1, Cell is 
58.49 63.97 91.60 91.71 91.86 99.47, should be 5 or 6 molecules in the 
asymmetric unit.

I checked the data quality, it said the data is highly anisotropy. Then
I searched the CCP4 forum and used the STARANISO Server and UCLA server, but 
still cannot improve the refinement. The data statistics after drawing 
ellipsoidal resolution limits is good:
