Thank you Peter for your reply.
I will try the p1 expansion. Thank you for the suggestion. And really
data look very good, the Rmerge is very low, chi squares are around one,
looked like a perfect data set to me;
one molecule in AU (in p6222). The model is exactly the same protein
solved in two other space groups.
And it's not one crystal, all these bipyramids are like this. I can send
you my p1.sca if you are curious to look at it.
