In addition to what Nicolas has pointed out, is it quite suspicious to me that you have the same multiplicity in the high resolution shell as in the low resolution.

Dear Juliana,

all the statistics presented here looks good in terms of resolution cut (maybe I will be less sever). For me the point is about the mosaicity you report 1.90 it's high in my opinion. How looks you images? I am wondering if the indexation is really right. And maybe the complain of Xtriage about outlier is due to this high mosaicity. What is the diagnostic of Xtriage in terms of possible twinning? I am also wondering about a pseudo translation.
Maybe try to re-processed your data in this direction.

Hope to help.

To be really convinced I think you should also compare the maps at 2.6 and 2.3 Å. If the 2.3 Å map looks better, go for it. If it doesn’t look better, perhaps you are adding noise, but the I/sigma and CC1/2 values suggest you aren’t.
Perhaps try 2.5 and 2.4 Å also.
And perhaps remove a well-ordered aa from the input model, refine at different resolutions and compare the difference maps for that aa. Or calculate omit maps at different resolutions and compare those.

It is not clear to me why you believe that cutting the resolution of the data would improve your model (which after all is the aim of refinement). At the edge CC(1/2) and I/sigI are perfectly respectable, and there doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with the Wilson plot. Th R-factor will of course be higher if you include more weak data, but minimising R is _not_ the aim of refinement. You should keep all the data

I don’t know what xtriage means by “large number of outliers”: perhaps someone else can explain

Hello,
I have one dataset at 2.3 Å (probably it can be better, I/σ = 2.1 and CC1/2 = 0.779, the summary data is below), but when I perform Xtriage analysis it says that “There are a large number of outliers in the data”. The space group is P212121. When I refine the MR solution the Rfree stops around 30% and it doesn´t decrease (in fact if I continue refining it starts to increase).
The Wilson plot graph is not fitting very well between 2.3 and 2.6 Å:

<image001.jpg>

So I decided to cut the data at 2.6A and Xtriage analysis doesn’t notify about outliers anymore. I could refine the MR solution very well, the final Rwork is 0.2427 and Rfree = 0.2730 and validation on Phenix results in a good structure.
I run Zanuda to confirm the space group and it says that the space group assignment seems to be correct.
Do you think that I can improve my structure and solve it at 2.3 Å or better? Or I can finish it with 2.6 Å? To publish at 2.6 Å I need to justify the resolution cut, right? What should I say?
Thank you for your help!

Juliana
