I've had good luck using the CCP4 DM program PARROT to improve poor initial MR maps with twinned data. (Based on some suggestions from this bb.) I think it works especially well if you have a lot of NCS symmetry, but it's worth a try, and doesn't take long. Cheers, _______________________________________ Roger S.
