[phenixbb] Red patches of electron density

[Pavel Afonine]

Hi Bishal,

it's difficult to tell what's going on without looking at data, model 
and maps. From what you describe it sound like you do everything all 
right. If you want me to have a closer look, please send me model, data 
and eff files, and tell which residues you are concerned about.

There are few small patches of red electron densities on the main chain of a flexible loop at a contour level of ~3sigma of difference ED map. Refinement parameters were following: XYZ coordinates, individual B-factor, optimize X-ray/stereochemistry weight, optimize X-ray/ADP weight and individual Anisotropic ADP for amino acids excluding hydrogen. Target weights are as default in phenix.refine.
