Dear all

Thanks for all the input. I will definitely try out in the coming couple of
days. To provide more information:
- the data was checked in Xtriage and no major pathology was found.
Completeness was 99.2% with multiplicity of >13. Mean I/sigma(I) 18.8,
CC1/2 for outer shell 0.902.
- After one round of refinement, the R-factor was around 0.5, which looked
reasonable given the incorrect B-chain was not removed and sequence
deviations in chain A not yet rectified.
- While I said Arp/warp failed to rebuild the model, it did return 3
helices in chain A and one in chain B when I ran in the QuickFold mode
(secondary structure tracing) later on. So I am going to start with the
helix in chain B and see how further manual rebuild goes.

Thanks again and I shall send an update for any progress.

Kind regards

Sam
