If there is no indication of twinning and your Rmerge is sensible then it is probably point group P222 Run pointless - that gives you the quality of each of the 2 folds sepera tely.. Deciding on the spacegroup is a bit trickier. That depends on absences along h00 0k0 and 00l, and if there

Dear all, Recently, I refine two low resolution structures in refmac 5.5. Their resolutions are 3A and 3.5A respectively. For 3A structure, after MR by phaser and rigidbody refinementrestraint refinement by refmac5.5, I got R factor 25% and R free 35%. And then each time, after my model

Dear Qixu, refamac 5.6 works well at these resolutions. You can add commands to your refinement in CCP4i by using the 'Run and view command script' (or something like that) option and just typing in the extra commands. Jelly-body has worked very well for me (although I use tigheter
