(2) what is the matthew's coeff for 2, 3, 4 mol/ASU ?

(3) what information does your self-rot function give ?

(4) are there any off-origin peaks in the native patterson ?

..... which is worrying and may well mean that the top 'solutions' are not
necessarily correct

(5) solutions 3 and 4 have a very small rotation between them - is
    this consistent with your self-rot fun and with your native patterson ?

(6) solutions 1, 3 and 4 have very similar y and z translations; i would
    be suspicious and would expect packing problems. unless you have
    gigantic axes, solutions 1 and 4 obviously overlap since they also
    have fairly similar x translations

i.e., the solutions aren't

ask them ! on the other hand, it is well known that wrong and correct
solutions can produce similar CC and R-f scores and are often hard to
distinguish, esp. in cases in which the model and/or the data leave something
to be desired

not the ccp4 version of amore i don't think, but jorge navaza's own
version does if i'm not mistaken
