before modelling a long side-chain in non-existing or dubious density, also make sure it is really there in the protein by sequencing your expression plasmid. Your arginine (for example) may in fact be a serine or glycine...databases are not 100% accurate and neither is PCR if it was used i

Dear Faisal, You definitely do not mutate to alanine as that would imply for the future "user" of your pdb file that it is a mutant. Some people feel they have to keep the side chain but put the occupancies at zero. I think this is a bad practice and strongly oppose to it as for the future "u

Hi, There has been quite a lot of discussion about this and I think different opinions exist. I would try to keep the side chains, if there is some evidence where they are. Otherwise I would just delete atoms and I would not mutate them to alanine. http://www.mail-archive.com/ccp4bb@jiscm

Dear all i have solved a structure ( at 2A resolution) whose Rwork and Rfree is 22 and 25 respectively..the Ramachandran plot shows 90% of the residues in the most favorable region and with 6 residues in generously allowed and no residues in disallowed region. But in some areas i can see density m
