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.

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. A. > > I refined a structure with Refmac in CCP4i and the R/Rfree is > 0.215/0.277.
