Dear all,

I recently collected a data set at 1.9 A resolution of a protein mutant and I
tried molecular replacement. Space group seems to be P212121 even though there
are some exceptions in the systematic absences.
MR solutions of the rotation function are the following:

 SOLUTIONRC    1    2.04  127.32    0.72  0.0000  0.0000  0.0000 36.7  0.0   1

 SOLUTIONRC    1   66.50   19.00  106.00  0.0000  0.0000  0.0000 14.6  0.0   3

 SOLUTIONRC    1    6.83   63.98   35.83  0.0000  0.0000  0.0000 14.6  0.0   6
 SOLUTIONRC    1  133.94  156.89  214.72  0.0000  0.0000  0.0000 14.2  0.0   7
 SOLUTIONRC    1   46.06   23.11   34.72  0.0000  0.0000  0.0000 14.2  0.0   8


The Matthews coefficient (2.36) shows that there should be 2 molecules in the
asymmetric unit.

I didn't use the BMAX 90 option. I also tried to refine only one molecule and
then to calculate the map on the whole asymmetric unit and what I saw was the 2
molecules rapresented by the first two solutions.

Using the first 2 solutions and refining them (with 2 different programs,
REFMAC and SHELXL) I obtain an R(free) of about 30% and R value of 21% (after
intruducing 120 water molecules). The 2fo-fc map is well defined and the fo-fc
doesn't show any significant density peaks.

I wonder why I can't lower the R factor below 20 % and why the R(free) is so
high.

Thanks in advance

Annalisa
