Dear Jeff, I have an utility which can apply any operator, specified by the user as e.g. -y,x+1/2,z-2/3 etc. You could use it to build your "crystal". Your molecule should of course have the right starting position and you have to figure out the correct operators yourself. If you are interested, I

Hi, Those are very high scores, which usually mean that the solution is correct. One thing I'm wondering about -- when you run xtriage, does it report that you have translational non-crystallographic symmetry? Pseudo-translations can cause problems in molecular replacement. Other than that, I

I can't see any problem switching from Refmac to Phenix refinement. You just provide Phenix with the current model (if you have refined using TLS there is an "additional" step, using I believe tlsanl to generate the "proper" PDB file as you would for data deposition with the pdb), the initial m

Are you sure that the mtz file you are refining against has spacegroup C2221 in the header? Phaser can test C222 and C2221 but when you start refinement you need to be sure the data header is correct. Another possible bug - is the model elongated in any way - they sometimes need surface loops
