Yeah, the protein is huge, around 450KD. Changing the ASU content did help a little bit. By searching two copies in ASU, I got a solution with better LLG

#+    #*     Initial LLG    Initial R  Refined LLG    Refined R Unique Tmplt
   1     1          4885.54        61.38      4885.54        61.38    YES     
But the Rfactor are still high and stuck during refinement.

Regarding the possible effect of space group, I reindexed the dataset from P2 to P21. AutoMR also gave similar solutions with high R values.

Well, your Z-score is very promising.  What size protein/DNA you have?
The likely asu content is over a megadalton, so unless the protein is
huge, you probably have more than one copy - this would explain bad
initial R-values.  Patterson suggests that too.  You probably need to
play with the estimate of asu content a bit to get rid of negative LLG.
What happens if you run a search looking for the second copy with the
first one in place?
