Trigonal space groups have a choice of two arbitrary settings. Were all those 180 frames collected in one pass? What were the integration statistics? What was the phasing method? Did you have a pre-existing structure*, molecular replacement, anomalous, or what? * This is the one I am

Hi Sam, some obvious questions: 1-Space group right? ( i´d say so from your R values...) 2-Is your data good throughout all of the 180 frames? whats Rsym if take only 100? 3-how good/complete is model? Missing parts, residues, base pairs?? 4-evaluate your refinement strategy... HTH
