EPMR (now Open-EPMR, http://www.epmr.info) is an excellent alternative
for finding difficult, high-dimensional MR solutions. Experiment with
various resolution limits. We solved an asymmetric unit with 3
difficult-to-place dimers of low sequence homology by gradually
increasing the high-resolution limit of the structure factor data used.
If you have a partial static solution, it can look for additional
protein chain placements. It is strongly recommended for your type of
problem that you set the correlation coefficient threshold for a good
solution to 1.00 and not use the defaults. This will force EPMR to do an
exhaustive search.
Cheers,
