I'll also recommend Buccaneer. You might try using a combination of PARROT for density modification and NCS averaging followed by autobuilding with BUCCANEER using initial phases from your MR solution. You only have two copies of the protein in the ASU, so you only get a modest boost in electron density averaging, but maybe every little bit helps. This approach was very successful for me with 8-fold NCS and a 29% identity search model that gave poor but usable initial MR phases for 2.4A data. _______________________________________ Roger S.
