Hi Yuri,
a possible way to show this simply involves these two steps:
1) make sure the model is as good as it can possibly be. This seems
trivial and obvious, but that's the tough one, and most important too.
At 1.18A it means: you included H atoms properly (yes - properly!), you
modeled all alternative conformations, you modeled all solvent fully and
partially occupied, you properly parametrized the model, etc... etc...
(very long list).
*All in all, it means you reduced the noise low down enough so you can
see important signal.*
2) after you fulfilled "1)", calculate various maps (residual, OMIT,
etc) and focus on diferences that you believe is the result of catalysis.
I have breathtaking examples where the above 1)-2) steps really work,
which I think to publish one day (in CCN of course!).
I believe this strategy may work for you too.
