Depends on what you mean by large, but we saw very obvious domain movement when we soaked a protein (transcription factor TFIIS) into crystals of RNA Polymerase II (PMIDs 12914699/21346759/22726432). We recently animated this conformational change, and you can watch it at: http://www.youtube.

Hi Rex - You can usually get the three-letter code from the PDB itself. At top of the PDB home page, you can see that one of the options for the search bar is "Ligand". If you put in a (mostly) correct name for the ligand, you will get back the three-letter code that the PDB is using. This

This is interesting. In principle m and D should provide an optimum map, and at high resolution they do a reasonable job. The answer about occupancy is a good point. You don't say what resolution your data is at, but maybe it is rather low? I suspect that below ~ 3A the estimates of both m and
