I agree that the difference in Rwork to Rfree is quite acceptable at your resolution. You cannot/ should not use Rfactors as a criteria for structure correctness. As Ian points out - choosing a different Rfree set of reflections can change Rfree a good deal. certain NCS operators can relate

I think you have just found a symmetry equivalent of your original structure solution. In P6122 there are 12 possible symmetry operators to choose from - only one of which will be the identity (equivalent to alpha=beta=gamma=0) One certainly will have alpha or gamma = 180, and beta 0,

Hi Sun Your bond length angle RMSD's look suspiciously high for a 2.8 Ang structure; this usually means that some weighting parameter(s) is/are not optimal. 2.8 Ang is not that far from the point where the optimal choice of structure parameters may be torsion angles instead of Cartesian

PJ. Ok after doing the stuff for refmac and running a few test runs of it, it worked ok. After using it on my current model, all of my bfactors shot up, my RMS for bond lengths went from .015 to 0.34 and my RMS for angles were also doubled. (this was done by re-running a job in refmac prior to

This is my response to Marius from earlier today. I should have sent it to the list as well. This was done in Fedora 8, but it I'm guessing similar commands in the other distros that now use libxcb will also work. BTW, I tried upgrading to libxcb-1.1 and using the sloppy_lock variable that
