consider:<BR><BR>- using secondary structure restraints;<BR>- tightening
restraints (using wxc_scale=...);<BR>- using H atoms in refinement;<BR>-
doing some quick geometry regularization before refinement;<BR>- fixing
manually and excluding from refinement certain parts of your
model.<BR><BR>You need to experiment and find empirically which
combination of the above options works in your case. I would appreciate
if you share your experience with this and tell us what worked for your
in the
end.<BR><BR>Pavel.<BR><BR></BLOCKQUOTE></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></FONT></DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
