Dear Crystallographers,
I am looking at a 1.0 Angstrom structure which contains many waters, but I
am wondering whether some of them might really be sodium ions. Is there any
straightforward way to distinguish between these two, and if so, what is the
software which implements this? Although the electron density difference
between sodium and water should be very small, perhaps the binding geometry
would provide a clearer distinction? Has anybody encountered this question
before?
Regards,
Jacob Keller
