At this resolution you should be able to infer differences between C and O based on the map levels at each location. Another dead giveaway is the bond lengths and the asymmetry of the top region - that is not a carboxylic acid to me. This looks lime MPD to me, very classic shape. Artem On Wed, J

I sent my last response too soon…. The ‘top’ end of the molecule in the image looks more like a carboxylic acid accepting H-bonds from two backbone amides (supporting the betaine assignment, and not MPD), but the ‘bottom’ end of the molecule looks like it is forming an H-bond with a well-ordere
