[phenixbb] Gap between R and Rfree

[Young-Jin Cho]

Thanks everyone.
First, I checked my data and showed almost no anisotropy.
Second, I tried both refmac and phenix, had the similar results.
Third, ncs may be the key... I re-processed hkl and cut the resolution and did ncs=true. It first generated error message and suggested to put distance limit upto 3. Then now the gap between R and Rfree is reasonable (.2834 and .3361 without substrate and water). 
However I tried my previous pdb that has everything with old mtz file, Final R-work = 0.2389, R-free = 0.3158. In this case, I had to expand my limit upto 6.  

I still need to look more or do further refine from newly generated mtz file though, (sorry that's why I was late for responding.... I wanted to confirm it). Anyway, seemingly setting up 'ncs' as Pavel mentioned is most possible answer to my case.

Thanks again.

Did you check your data
