Hi,
difficult to say why it doesn't work. Generally as mentioned already
automatic model buildíng will most likely fail at this resolution.
However why do you think your sites are wrong? Ta-cluster are regular
compounds and the sites should fit with the geometry of the cluster at
least.
Anyway, molecular replacement using anomalous differences and the
cluster as search model might work in that case as well, if direct
experimental phasing fails.
Cheers
Christian

> I am wondering whether the lattice-translocation disorder of the dataset impacts the reliability of the anomalous signal, tantalum sites and the initial map. If it does, how can we decrease its impact? If it doesn't, is it possible to find the accurate Ta sites and generate an interpretable map suitable for model-building with this dataset? (After all, it has been reported that Ta sites can be found at 6A resolution.)
