Hi,
It could be a problem of space group as rightly pointed out by one of us.
Try re running and ask phaser to find the space group for you this helps
sometimes. I dont think its a good idea to increase the clashes, at least
thats what the phaser manual says. Also I noticed that your RFZ is higher
than TFZ does anyone else think this is a problem?
