First advice - are you sure the images etc are OK? Green lights are not as
useful as detailed analysis. I like the CCP4I2 report - it provides enough
information to dig down for problems...

Again - do try SIMBAD or similar is very sensible.

But Beta sheet structures are a pain!
As was noted your solutions are all (or almost all) simply solution 1 plus
translations of that solution.
There are several possibilities - your partial model of the beta sheet need
to be extended by a second, third, fourth copy moved by a fixed translation.
That is possible of course if the beta sheet is very much more extensive
than the model and very flat, but that seems a bit unlikely.


More likely - these overlaping solutions with high LLG are a misleading
artefact . There isnt much symmetry in P1 to fix down such aberrations,,

What happens if you try refining only the first solution?
