Hi Kelly,

- where is the peak: at atomic center, near it and looks like a bunch of concentric spheres? Then it might be a results of Fourier truncation ripples; check this out where I reply to a similar post:

http://proteincrystallography.org/ccp4bb/message14290.html

- did you try to refined f' and f'' of your heavy atom? Actually, I see you did (looking at .log file);

- did you try to refine its occupancy and anisotropic ADP?

If you send me (to my email address, not to the whole phenixbb) the data and model files, as well as the parameter file and exact command you used, I will have a look.

Pavel.

Hello all,
I have just used phenix autosol and autobuild to phase and build an initial model of my structure with phase information from Tungsten (W), collected at the peak wavelength of 1.2134 Angstroms.

Autosol works beautifully! I was able to perform W-SAD and get great maps, when I initially thought I would have to perform W-MAD!

The problem I am having is during phenix.refine.

When I run the refinement (with and without refining the group anomalous) and including my experimental phases, I see a giant negative peak in the Fo-Fc map at the location of my Tungsten. The rest of the map is beautiful.
In the log file, I can tell that the scattering factor is high for tungsten (see below).

I believe the negative density is telling me I have too many electrons present at the tungsten site.

Can anyone help me figure out what I am doing wrong?
I have attached my latest log file.
