[phenixbb] modelling into positive densities

Dear Sam,

at 1.5A you might expect to see holes in the aromatic rings and at least a den in the proline residue.
The region of your screen shot is quite noisy - either you integrated your data too far into the noise, or there is more than one conformation of the side chain. You can split the range of offending residues, including 1-2 either side, and see if coot models the second one reasonably.

Best,
Tim

Subject: [phenixbb] modelling into positive densities

Hello,

I am refining a structure solved to 1.5A by MR. Rw/Rf were 0.17/0.22 which seem acceptable to me. At the very beginning part of the protein the electron density is a bit wobbly. I am able to build the residues into the positive densities. But after phenix.refine the chain always shifts away a bit and leaves the green blobs there.

I am thinking if this can be solved by adjusting the target weights. Or can I apply certain restraints only to those few residues?

I refined XYZ (reciprocal space), XYZ (real space), individual B-factors, TLS and occupancies.

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Sam
