Thank You so much . I am trying to process the data again in all space groups possible for primitive hexagonal and try refinement again. And i didn't use Phenix after i got the MR solution. Probably refining the mutated model again would give some more information.
Thank You once again. Appreciated Deepthi On Wed, Jul 18, 2012 at 10:02 AM, Garib N Murshudov <ga...@mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk > wrote: > Can you check space group in your mtz and pdb?
