Or anomalous scattering effects, depending on the wavelength you used... Occupancies will help correct for this, even if they are 100% present. George N.

If you still have some surrounding residual density then that may be attributed to Fourier truncation effects: http://proteincrystallography.org/ccp4bb/message14290.html Pavel.

From the extensions menu in coot, I clicked on modeling >> residues with missing atoms, and both Cadmium ions came up in that list. The density surrounding these atoms is also strange, positive density right in the middle of the atom, negative density surrounding the whole atom. How do I make sure these are being refined correctly? Thank you in advance, Kristin ******************************************************************** Kristin A.
