Does your model structure form a dimer? Maybe best to search with that
model..

Hello fellow crystallographers,
I am trying molecular replacement for a protein crystal dataset that has very
high sequence similarity to the search model with several predicted flexible
loop regions; however, all attempts at finding a solution have not produce very
ideal starting solutions using Phaser and Molrep (CC = 0.3 and Z-score = 5). I
am very confident that the unit cell parameters are C2 84.027 120.565 108.272
90.00 104.71 90.00, and there appears to be no evidence of twinning. The
Matthews calculation predicts from anywhere from 2-4 monomers in the ASU, and
calculation of the SRF in Molrep does not identify any peaks in higher order
symmetry except for the expected crystallographic two-fold for C2. Below is
the table from the calculated SRF in molrep. Any advice would be greatly
appreciated.
