Re: [phenixbb] anomalous difference map

Thanks, Nat. If this is noise, why the anomalous or LLG peaks could be as high as 5 ~ 6 sigma? Charles On Tue, Sep 9, 2014 at 5:58 PM, Nathaniel Echols wrote:

Is it possible that I have anomalous and LLG peak, but I have no difference density peak? In this case, is that because the model I have is not good enough or the diffraction data at this site of the model is missing?

You should at a minimum see > 1sigma density in the 2mFo-DFc map, and if the site is unmodeled (or modeled as a water) you should see an mFo-DFc peak as well. If neither of these applies, the anomalous and LLG peaks are probably just noise.
