[phenixbb] Mg is driving me crazy

[oleg at quantumbioinc.com]

green peaks around your supposed Mg's mean that something heavier than Mg is in fact presented. Try Ca2+ ?

I am refining a structure that showed two positive peaks larger than 8
sigma. I assigned them as Mg ions, since I have them in the crystallization
condition and also because it make sense, according to where they are
located.

However when I refine there's still all this green blob around the already
properly placed Mg ions. I don't know why, they don't show large thermal
factors or anything suspicious...

I'm refining individual sites, individual adps, and TLS groups.

The resolution I am talking about is 2.5 A.

Any thoughts on this?

Thank you very much

Best wishes,

Almudena
