Hi, It's not a bad idea to read the Phaser manual for molecular replacement; see http://www.phaser.cimr.cam.ac.uk/index.php/Molecular_Replacement Soon after the start, in a table on the right hand side, there is: TFZ score 5, have I solved it ? No. Hence with a TFZ score of 3.8 you do not

Have you tried using the DNA as your search model? - I have had success this way round - certainly more phasing power than your protein model, I guess. Also, refine with your DNA in place, and your phases/ map should improve - hopefully allowing you to place your protein molecules with ease.

You could try loading a small 1ml HiTrap (or similar) Q or S column with your protein - and knocking it off it in one go with high salt, alternatively micro-dialysis against a solution containing PEGs can also work well. Tony Sent from my iPhone On 21 Jul 2011, at 17:54, Narayanan Ramasubbu

Hi, Although it's pretty much true that if TFZ8, the solution is correct, there are hard cases where a correct solution has a significantly lower TFZ score. Also, we've been finding that TFZ scores are generally lower for monoclinic space groups like P21, at least in the search for the first

Hi Subbu, You got crystals at 1mg/ml so you probably don't need to concentrate your protein any higher, especially since you suggest that concentrating beyond that is problematic. Instead, you may want to try to optimize the crystallization condition you have already identified. Some
