Thank you all for your replies and suggestions. I have fitted in some dummy waters as Herman suggested and this is the result after one round of refinement. The waters are positioned where there is highest electron density, but I am not sure how to move forward from here. https://cbsostorage.chem

Hi Betty, Could you post a few more screen shots of different orientations of the electron density? If you see waters that are 1.6, 1.9 and 2.2 A away from the metal ion, I would try Mg2+ ion (trace amount of metal ions could be present in salt solutions/buffers as an impurity) and refine it (alth

Dear Betty, You have very high resolution, which helps you to identify your ligand, but the ligand may be disordered… What I would do is to place some dummy atoms (e.g. waters) and refine and look if the molecule gets clearer. By scrolling the density in coot, you can identify the positions wit
