Do not know what the resolution is here, try an anisotropic refinement of the Cys side chains first to see if this solves your problem. __ Dr. math. et dis. nat. Jeroen R. Mesters University of Lübeck https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8532-6699

Pretty sure there is a similar solution in refmac. Though also if the 384A rotamer doesn’t clash with the 472B rotamer, you could have three states A/A (disulfide), A/B (no disulfide), B/B (no disulfide). -- Kevin Jude, PhD Structural Biology Research Specialist, Garcia Lab Howard Hughes Medical Institute Stanford University School of Medicine Beckman B177, 279 Campus Drive, Stanford CA 94305 From: CCP4 bulletin board <CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK<mailto:CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK>> on behalf of Liliana Margent <lmarg...@gradcenter.cuny.edu<mailto:lmarg...@gradcenter.cuny.edu>> Date: Monday, May 6, 2024 at 12:20 PM To: CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK<mailto:CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK> <CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK<mailto:CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK>> Subject: [ccp4bb] Modeling Disulfide Bond Occupancies Greetings everyone, I'm currently in the process of modeling a disulfide bond in two structures. However, when I attempt to model single occupancy for the cysteines involved in the bond, negative density blobs emerge within the disulfide bond. This suggests the possibility of alternate conformations for the cysteines. Yet, when I endeavor to model alternate conformations for both cysteines, their occupancies do not align despite running refinement with a bond parameter file that specifies the link. To illustrate, I initiate the refinement with occupancies for Cys472 as A0.75/B0.25 and for C384 as A0.75/B0.25, but post-refinement, the output occupancies appear as Cys472 A0.84/B0.16 and for C384 A0.97/B0.03. Where A confs participate in the s-s bond. Has anyone else encountered this issue before, or does anyone have suggestions on how to refine these cysteines to achieve coherent occupancies? Thank you for any insights you can provide.
