Dear ccp4, I am refining one structure at low resolution (3.5 A). I solved the structure in space group P622 by molecular replacement. The Rw/Rf after some cycle of rigid body refinement in Refmac5 is 34/37. But when I am trying to refine with Restrain refinement in Refmac the Rw is going down

Hi, did you use refinement strategy suitable for low (3.5A) resolution (secondary structure restraints, Ramachandran plot restraints, proper ADP parameterization, SA, etc etc...)? If you send me the data and model files off-list I will have a look. Pavel On Wed, Sep 14, 2011 at 7:34 AM, Md
