Dear Alex, in case you have other things to do and can wait for a few hours: just upload your mtz and paste your sequence into Balbes (one of the programs found at http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/ccp4online). Click 'check full space group' and 'run arp/warp' as needed. all the best, Stefan *Stefan T Arold, PhD* *Associate Professor* *Division of Biological and Environmental Sciences and Engineering* *Computational Bioscience Research Center (CBRC) King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST)* *Thuwal 23955-6900 Bldg 2, Level 4, Room 4275 Kingdom of Saudi Arabia* *Office: +966 (0)12 808 2557* *Mobile: +966 (0)5 4470 0432* *Em: **[log in to unmask]* <[log in to unmask]> On 23 April 2016 at 00:52, Alex Lee <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Hi All, > > I really appreciate all of your suggestions!
