I have thought before about this kind of case, of 5 to 6 Angstrom resolution diffraction, namely that the molecular transform must increase again at higher resolution, say 2 1/2 Angstrom, at which therefore the measurable intensity would increase enough to maybe be above background. 

To check this go back to your diffraction images and integrate to, say, 2Angstrom. Does the <I/sigI> show the increase at around 2 1/2 Angstrom resolution?

Obviously if you do have those higher resolution data measurable then matters improve all round.

 Hello all,

I was wondering what would be current best protocols for trying to improve maps/phases for low resolution 

MR / refinement solutions (5-6 Å resolution). 

High solvent content of course, dimeric 2:2 protein complex so some NCS averaging and density modification

I assume might help (related structures known, currently maps very blobby, clear solution but I think should be able to do better...).

Also, refinement suggestions welcome.

Best route in phenix? So far worked initially with ccp4. Other suggestions also welcome.

Thanks!

Tommi
