Hello Chris,
The standard question here is: Are you certain of your space group? That seems to be the main culprit behind R factors that wont decrease.
Can you provide some statistics showing your confidence in your space group?

I am having an issue with refining my structure.  I have a 2.36 A resolution dataset.  I have found a solution by molecular replacement in the space group P3221.  I have been refining the structure, however, my Rfactor/Rfree are not decreasing even though I have good density.  My current Rfactor/Rfree values are .40/.43.  Can anyone help me?


Thanks.

Chris
