Dear Eleanor,
Thank you very much for your reply. I think that the NCS operator is very close
to the crystallographic two fold symmetry because when I searched for the
solution with PHASER with one molecule as the model I could not find the
solution so I have to use two molecules as the search model but I did
not expect that will affect the NCS refinement. How to deal with this problem?
Thank you very much for your great help! I also greatly appreciated all the
replies to my question which help me clarify a lot.
Thank you All!
Best wishes,
Sun

Subject: Re: [ccp4bb] Why NCS doesn't help?
There are many reasons why this could have ocurred.
One is that your NCS operator is very close to being a crystallographic
one.
But you need to give more details of the problem before I can comment
sensibly

Dear All,
In refining my structure (two molecules in au) that was solved with molecular
replacement, refinement starting with restrained lowered the R-free to about
0.35 while with NCS increased the R-free to 0.55. Does it imply that two
molecules are quite different or something wrong with the refinement?
Thank you very much for your suggestions?
Best wishes,
Sun Tang
