Hi i am trying to calculate a difference map ( ligand-native ) using isomorphous difference map program in phenix. I used the reflection files of ligand and native and phase information of ligand derived data. But the difference map donot fits the ligand, and appears as a circular chunk of density at sigma level 5. I calculated an omit map that clearly showed the presence of my ligand at the specific position. Is there anything wrong in my calculation. What alternate ways are there to improve my difference map.
