Dear Almudena,
Have you placed water molecules around the magnesium? It's a coordination complex.
Best!

Dear all,
I am refining a structure that showed two positive peaks larger than 8 sigma. I assigned them as Mg ions, since I have them in the crystallization condition and also because it make sense, according to where they are located.
However when I refine there's still all this green blob around the already properly placed Mg ions. I don't know why, they don't show large thermal factors or anything suspicious...
I'm refining individual sites, individual adps, and TLS groups.
The resolution I am talking about is 2.5 A.
Any thoughts on this?
Thank you very much
Best wishes,
Almudena
