Hi, Rajesh,
It does look like Ca to me. It has around 2.4 A distances to waters and
quite many electrons (18), which correspond to rather wide and high
density peak in the middle.
Mg has distances at 2.07, and 10 electrons (should be a smaller peak).
Na has 2.41 distances to waters, 10 electrons (should be a smaller peak).
After you place a metal and refine it, try using CheckMyMetal to
validate it:
https://csgid.org/csgid/metal_sites/
It takes into account preferable coordination geometries, coordination
bond distances, and compares ADPs to average ADP for the surrounding atoms.
If the dataset is very good, and the wavelength of X-ray is rather long,
you might even get anomalous signal for Ca:

Dear All,
Have you had experience with this kind of density? I am wandering what
this could be?
Thank you very much for the help.
