Dear Appu, It seems that the anisotropy server you used put the anisotropic corrections in the pdb, which got subsequently rejected by the refinement programs because of insufficient resolution. The alternative is to apply anisotropic scaling to your reflection data, which is e.g. done by the

Hi everyone, I am running Phaser (from Phenix) and while checking the .log file (it is still running) I realize that it found some solutions with a TFZ score over 7, but it won't take them I guess because the number of clashes is higher than allowed (12, I guess they're not so many either). My

Hi Herman and Boaz, in the trigonal setting R32 (not in the hexagonal setting H32), the unit cell in R32 contains 6 copies. If you take the whole R32 unit cell as a P1 cell, you would have 6 copies in the asymmetric unit, as Hermann wrote. Best regards, Dirk. Am 02.07.15 um 15:52 schrieb

Dear Almu, Apparently, you have more than one search model. What worked very well for me was to superimpose these models and cut out the loops which are variable between the models. These loops may be different again in your protein and may be behind the clashes in Phaser. Without these

I think your idea was discussed herein before, but that the consensus was that CC1/2 does not change much when you scramble and re-calculate. What one needs is a good way to determine at what point in the CC1/2 curve the data stops being useful in obtaining the best possible model, and it seems

Another criterion for cutoff, also requiring the structure to be solved, is the agreement between data and structure, e.g. Rfree or CCfree. I think it is very unlikely that you could get Rfree =.2493 in a shell which contains only noise. So I would suggest doing paired refinement to 2.2 and 2.1 A

Well, in that case, one could simply look at the plot of CC1/2 versus resolution and see the step up to one, conclude something was off. I wonder whether PDB REDO was able to get some empirically-determined values for CC1/2 cutoffs by comparing paired refinement versus CC1/2 versus other

My take on this- No one has been willing to specify a cutoff (and probably there is no rigorous way to mathematically define the cutoff) and say If CC* (or CCfree or whatever) is below X then it will not improve your structure, if above X then it will. Probably depends among other things on
