[phenixbb] Rfree refuse to come down

[Vellieux Frederic]

A couple of things:

TFZ of 9 is on the lowish side therefore one could question the validity 
of the MR solution, are all protein molecules correctly positioned for 
example. Are there domains and subdomains that have moved in your 
structure relative to your search model?

with 4-fold NCS you can use the redundancy to 1) improve the maps by 
iterative NCS averaging; 2- use NCS contraints (then restraints later 
on) during refinement.

Fred.

PS refinement of a model does not mean "bring R-free down", the R-free 
going up is a symptom that should be investigated and the causes of it 
then treated...
