Hi,

Whether or not you’ll get anything useful from a 4.3 A MR solution depends on 
your question — maybe you’re interested in something large-scale like complex 
formation or domain movement, in which case it could tell you something.

In any case, it’s important to have a good starting model. Unless you have a 
higher-resolution crystal structure of the same protein, your best bet would be 
something like an AlphaFold model. Next, if you want to refine it, the 
structure will tend to get worse at that resolution unless you only allow it to 
change when required to agree with your data. There are tools for both Refmac 
and phenix.refine to use your good-quality starting model as a reference model, 
with local or torsion angle restraints, and you should be using these.

Best wishes,

Randy Read
