Thanks, all. It did clear my thought. Because I always wondering why the
LLG map is getting more different from the anomalous difference map and
getting close to the 2FoFc map, while the anomalous difference map is
almost the same as the beginning when I have no ligand put in the model.

Then when I generate anomalous difference map, I should not put the ligand(which contains Br) in the model, right? Or in phenix, after I put the Br-ligand in the model, I should not see the anomalous difference density at the site, right?
An "anomalous difference map" is a map of the anomalous differences DANO (Fobs(+) - Fobs(-)). It's independent of Fcalc, so it doesn't matter if you put the ligand in or not.
This is not quite an accurate statement. To calculate a Fourier map one requires amplitudes and phases. (Fobs(+) - Fobs(-)) are the amplitudes for the anomalous difference map. The phases come from Fcalc (actually from Fmodel), one way or another.
