Hi,

i am working on a structure where I have a few relatively big red blobs (please see attached print screens with maps at 1.2 and 3.5 rmsd). The data were processed at BESSY, mtz was used in Phaser and refined in phenix.refine. Can someone explain why this happens (and whether it is an issue)?

Thank you, Andrea _______________________________________________ phenixbb mailing list [email protected] http://phenix-online.org/mailman/listinfo/phenixbb Unsubscribe: [email protected]
