Look at the plots for Rfactor for your last cycle. Is there a blip at some resoution? And also look at the plot of v v resolution-- again are there blips? People have put a lot of effort in generating informative graphs so use them! You should see ice ring effects in the Wilson plot too..

Hi everyone again Hmmm I think we have solved a structure in P1 space, to 2.5 A. However after refinement the Rfree stuck at 33%-35% with Rwork around 26%. The structure was solved by MR and current model seems to fit density well. In Refmac log I found that at the resolution corresponding to

While I agree with testing in lower symmetry (and I'm sure you have), it is also possible that the asymmetry is too slight or doesn't affect the crystals contacts, so that the dimer would orient randomly as it packs into the crystal. In that case, taking the average over all asymmetric units,

In ChimeraX, you can promote a selection to whole residues with: select up Repeating the command will expand to whole secondary structure elements, then whole chains, then whole models. You can reverse this with: select down On 2019-04-03 16:13, Gianluca Santoni wrote: I could be useful

Dear Deniz, In the past, I had similar problems caused by the fact that when the residue was “known” to ccp4, it would use the cif file from the ccp4 library instead of the cif I had created myself. You could check if this might be the case for you. You find the cif files under

Qs.. 1) You are using the same dictionaries for both REFMAC and COOT? 2) What happens in refmac if you just use REFI IDEALISE? And turn on the option for REFMAC to MONITOR MANY - it might tell you if there is some clash which is overriding the geometry restraints.. Eleanor On Wed, 3 Apr 2019 at

Hi One way to test if the data processing software has imposed too much symmetry is to actually look at the images themselves using one of the processing packages, or process in a lower symmetry and use "viewhkl" (or even "hklview" if you're old-fashioned...) to view sections of the integrated

I agree. The data processing software might have been confused by the NC 2-fold and thought that it was crystallographic and of course, after merging the data, the NC axis will have been made “crystallographic” with superimposed A and B conformations at 50% occupancy. In this case, reprocessing

Hi, This doesn't answer your question directly, but I'd be tempted to reduce the symmetry and re-refine in a space group lacking that 2-fold axis. I'd hope that the scaling in the lower space group would give you better stats as well, but maybe the differences in your case are too subtle? I

Hi all, we have a structure with a pseudo internal symmetry along a 2-fold axis that sits on a 2-fold crystallographic axis. For refinement purposes we have modeled the parts that differ with 50% occupancy, but before depositing the structure we wanted to make sure that this is the best way to
