I know you mentioned that this was not an anomalous map, but what at wavelength were your data collected at? Fe has a significant f" at CuKalpha (1.54..) wavelength.

I would check the iron occupancy in case it is less than 1.0 and that your Fe has the left-shift in the PDB file otherwise it might be treated as a fluorine? Good old pdb format.

Best wishes, Jon Cooper.

    Good morning,

    I am currently solving a structure containing four heme b
    molecules (res 1.7 Å), each coordinated by two histidines. The
    refinement is looking good, but the output from refinement has
    marked the Fe ions of each heme with positive density (green) in
    the FoFc difference map - see image. Any ideas why? I used the
    Monomer Library in Coot to add hemes ('HEM') in. Is it something
    to do with the oxidation state of the Fe? And if so, is there
    anything I can do about it?

    Best wishes,
    Catherine
