Dear all,

we have a structure at not the greatest resolution (~2.6A) of which crystal was grown in crystallization condition with Jeffamin. In the maps, we see typical  PEG-like sausages. Jeffamin is basically a PEG decorated with some methyl groups and it is terminated with amine groups.

Now, the question is how to interpret such blobs? To my understanding the methyl decoration is not regular, and it is not obviously visible in the maps. Nor is clear, if there is a contact to the amine group. When we tried to put in PEG models as placeholders, it explains the density fine, but the contacts  are nothing great, e.g. position of the oxygens in the polymer is  not clear.

Calculating Polder maps does not clear things  up.

How would you deal with interpretation such maps?

Thank you for your ideas :-)

Jan
