Dear all
After some fiddling with different software, I managed to get a solution
from BALBES in CCP4.
As some suggested, self-rotation indicated only 4 NCS copies in the asu and
not 8 based on Matthew's coefficient calculation. In hindsight, the
resulting 75 % solvent content could be the cause for the rather poor
diffraction.
By using MR Rosetta with the BALBES model, I have something better (R of
32/37 % without adding all the heme ligands yet and some missing atoms not
built by AutoBuild).
A request to Phenix developers: When I clicked the Run phenix.refine and
Validation buttons in the GUI, it loaded the file overall_best_one.pdb into
the GUI which has only one chain. I only noticed this when looking at the
50 % R factor compared to the MR Rosetta log file.
Thanks again.

There's no guarantee it will work. It's an experimental approach to
attempt for difficult MR cases. ******************************************************************************

While checking self rotation functions is a great idea, I would shy away
from such categorical assertions as self rotation functions are not
always cleanly interpretable (despite GLRF, which is my favorite as
well), and an eight-fold NCS might not be due to an eight-fold rotation:
you can have eight molecules with different arrangements (such as two C4
"tetramers") as well as with improper NCS, or through translational NCS
as well. Engin
