Dear CCP4 users,

I am now trying to solve a protein structure by  MR using Amore. There are
four molecules in the au, based on the Matthews'coefficient and
self-rotation calculation.

The rotation and translation results are quiet puzzling. Here is the four
solutions for each molecules, after fixing them one by one

SOLUTIONTF1  1   77.01   90.00  271.21  0.1013  0.4771  0.3473 46.1 52.5 41.1   2   58.5
SOLUTIONTF2  1   15.47   48.52   87.74  0.4730  0.1005  0.1464 51.3 51.4 49.9   2   58.5
SOLUTIONTF3  1   72.38   32.04   96.38  0.8958  0.5205  0.3605 54.2 50.6 52.7   1   59.0
SOLUTIONTF4  1   81.25   38.07   83.60  0.0458  0.4842  0.3609 56.0 49.5 56.6   1   49.0

These solutions are the best,even though there is no clear gap.

After fiting, the CC and R-factor are also improved

          TABLE   Alpha    Beta   Gamma    Tx      Ty      Tz Corr_F Rfac
SOLUTIONF     1   76.96   86.29  269.96  0.0895  0.4795  0.3503 57.2 47.8  57.3
SOLUTIONF     1   17.28   42.06   86.32  0.4720  0.1061  0.1464 57.2 47.8  57.3
SOLUTIONF     1   73.14   32.34   95.17  0.8981  0.5195  0.3576 57.2 47.8  57.3
SOLUTIONF     1   79.16   45.90   83.17  0.0539  0.4895  0.3601 57.2 47.8  57.3

Considering the model I used contains only 60% amino acids of my protein,
I think it is close to the solution.

But, problem appears when I check their packing. Molecules overlap to each
other, either directly or to their symmetry mates.

My questions are

1.Could someone know why such CC and R-f doesn't produce right
solution?

2. Does Amore check the molecular  packing during translation search? How
to implement it?


I really appreciate it if someone can share their valuable experience on
this kind problem.
