Hi Anastassis,

Thank you very much for your suggestions.  I answered the questions as follows.
I used NCS before rigid body refinement. After that I did not put NCS 
restraints in the restrained refinement and TLS+restrained refinement because 
it raised the R/Rfree quite a lot.
The resolution is 2.8 A.
I did not check twinning. I will do that soon.
I used PHASER to solve the structure and the density of the N-domain (~ 50 a.a) 
in one molecule is not good, with a lot of broken density for the backbone.
I used the TLS in the refinement. I usually used the initial TLS parameters 
(with only residues in group, no coordinates for the center) for all the TLS 
refinement. When I used the refined TLS parameters, the refinement would go 
divergence.
I only added about 120 water molecules for the whole structures.
I will update the information after I try further refinement.

Best wishes,

Sun

I don't think there is something necessarily wrong with the values  
you report.

A few questions to see *if* something is wrong are:

- as you wrote to Tim you have NCS: do you use NCS restraints ?
- what is the resolution / B factor of the data ?
- have the data been checked for twining ? (phenix.xtriage)
- is the N-term domain of one copy really invisible (then indeed do  
remove ...!)
- has TLS been used ?
- did you add waters ? (too many?)

I guess then we can make better suggestions if something is wrong and  
if so how its best to fix.
