Hi Armando,

high R-factor at low resolution is likely to be due to poor bulk solvent 
model. Some relevant reading:

"Protein hydration observed by X-ray diffraction. Solvation properties 
of penicillopepsin and neuraminidase crystal structures."

bulk-solvent model: obtaining optimal parameters"

procedure"
