Dear Xiuwen,

First, I cant see how the space group is C2221 with a beta of 92.3

Maybe you need to clear the symmetry confusion before getting additional pseudo-symmetry suggestions.

Dear colleages,

Currently I met problem in a MR case and hope somebody could advise me.

The crystals belong to sg C2221 with the cell parameters a=59A, b=302A, c=97A, beta=92.3. The searching model shares 43% identities (300aa) with target protein. When searching in PHASER program, only one clear solution could be found with high Z-score: RZF=9.8 and TZF=24.2. However, though the density is interpretative, the solution coordinate could not fit in the density (Rfactor high to 54%). Moreover, as suggested by matthews_coff, there should be at least 2 molecules in one ASU. But I could not find the other molecules in the ASU in this case (though the other solution are defined with high Z-score RZF=7.8 and TZF=59, this solution has 115 clashes with the first one). I also find that this solution coordinate occupied some "layers" and most of the unit cell are lack of density. As Phenix.xtrage suggested the data is not twinned, I was totally confused by this situation.

I will appreciate if you could share your opinions and experience on similar case with me.

Best Regards,
Xiuwen
