Dear All,
I have a theoretical/practical question about omit maps and refinement.
I am completing the refinement (in Phenix) of a protein-ligand complex at 1.3A resolution. I solved it by MR and automatic rebuilding of the protein alone first then built in the ligand. Rfree and Rfac are 19.4%/18.2% after TLS and water-picking in Phenix. The model includes everything protein, water, ligand and some ions.
However I have some slight doubts one region in my ligand. 
What would be the best map, less biased, to look at this "very late" stage of the refinement. Are  composite or systematic SA omit map useful options at this stage ?

Thanks a lot in advance
