Dear Hauke,

others pointed out that there is little suspicious about your data, and you 
can probably continue refining in P21. You also have a reasonably large unit 
cell, so stick to the defaults regarding Rfree selection.

4.5A resolution is just quite hard to work with, but otherwise I don't think 
there is anything problematic about your data.

Best regards,
Tim
