Hi Chris,

If  the absence/ presence of hydrogens in the coordinate file made a
difference in the refinement, I guess some parameter setting for the
refinement program is awkward. Did you refine with riding hydrogens in
both cases? Hydrogens can and should be added in riding positions even
at low resolution, since they do not add to the number of parameters
but help with anti-bumping restraints.
