Hi Eleanor, Thank you for your information. I did do the B factor refinement in CCP4i and at the first several rounds of refinement, there was no such difference map but in the almost final run of refinement (including TLS and restrained), it appeared. The B-factors (about 40) are similar to nearby residues. This confused me. Any ideas?
Thank you again for your suggestions. Best, Sun Tang Eleanor Dodson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hard to say without more information. Have you refined the B factors for these residues? Most building software gives some arbitrary b value, which must then be refined. (In fact after any rebuilding activity you need to do a few cycles of refinement before looking at the maps again) Eleanor Sun Tang wrote: > Hello Everyone, > > When I refined a structure, I found strong difference density Fo-Fc at 3 > sigma contour for the for five residues which already have occupancy of 1. > The density is continuous and so strong as if I did not put the residues > there.
