DM is kind of past tense (unless you are dealing with multicrystal averaging) -- I'd use parrot or shelxe instead (both pretty fast and automated). NCS operators as input do not seem to be in fashion these days, so you might have to put up with heavy atoms or partial MR models... I would not

Hi Krisztian, I have seen refmac fall over in a similar situation (low-ish res, partially floppy model) during TLS refinement. You could try to rescue it by - using fixed TLS parameters from a previous (successful) refinement - setting initial B-values to a fixed value - including the peptide in

Do you still have the unmerged files? In that case just feed them to pointless and redo scala/etc.. If you only 3 merged data sets, you will have to use combat to convert the mtz files into an fake unmerged format then put them through pointless/scala to get relative scales and merge them..

There are several ways to skin a cat. If you have processed your data with XDS, XSCALE can also do the job (you have to think of the unit cell parameters of the merged data set though - the default may not necessarily what you wish to have), and I am certain other data frame processing suites

Some recently released PDB entries (for instance 3u57) have structure factor files that contain map coefficients. We think this is a really good idea because it means that final maps as interpreted by the crystallographer will then be archived and available. But there is a problem converting
