Hi,<br>
<br>
although I've seen cases like yours when SA in Cartesian space did
miracles, in many of cases modeling at 4A resolution is a tough
problem. <br>
<br>
Since clearly SA didn't work out (given R/Rfree ~ 37/50% and the
starting 48/50), I would try splitting your model into rigid domains
and refine each as a rigid body. Plus, I would refine one isotropic B
per residue or per domain (try both). This is a few minutes to try so
why don't you do so.<br>
Also, I would still combine it (rigid body and B-factor refinement)
with Cartesian SA, but I would put much more weight on geometry
restraints to avoid overfitting.<br>
<br>
As you probably aware of, in phenix.refine you can run combined
refinement jobs, for example, consisting of SA, rigid body, B-factor
refinement and so on. So I would recommend playing with the above
suggestions to see if it works. Plus, <b>don't forget looking at the
maps - may be you manage to fit something manually.</b><br>
<br>
By the way, which R-factors you get if you run:<br>
<br>
phenix.model_vs_data data.mtz model.pdb<br>
<br>
(phenix.model_vs_data will account for twinning (if any) using Xtriage
automatically) ?<br>
<br>
Write us if you have questions.<br>
<br>
Good luck,<br>
Pavel.<br>
<br>

You could also try Cartesian or torsion-angle simulated annealing.<br>
I'd try both. In my experience Cartesian SA often works better even<br>
at low resolution.<br>
If you get errors running torsion-angle annealing, please try<br>
the latest nightly build (dev-249) since I've fixed several<br>
problems since the 1.5-2 release.<br>

<br>
You could use<br>
sites.rigid_body = ...<br>
to select the bodies you want to refine. The rest (including your<br>
atom on the special position) will not move.<br>
