Dear Dr. Thomas It's not SAD/MAD data I have solved it using molrep only. I will try alternate positions for met and see the density again. Thanx to all for valuable suggestions Ethayathulla   On Fri, 13 Apr 2007 Thomas Edwards wrote : > >Dear Ethayathulla , > >did you solve the structure b

I think the SD-CE is pointing the wrong way. And they look much too close. I would rotate them and re-refine Eleanor PS - any noise on the 3 fold axis will be multiplied by a factor of 3 Ethayathulla Abdulsamath wrote: Dear all I am doing one structure at 2.6A resolution where I found unu

This appears to be a symmetry threefold axis. These areas are notoriously prone to have density artefacts. Also it looks like your terminal carbons are pointing in the opposite way, and the entire end of Met is slightly shifted as a result. You may never be able to fit this area to your satisfactio

Dear Ethayathulla , did you solve the structure by SeMet MAD or some other way? Sometimes you get strange densities around the ends of methionine side chains (around the S/Se) when switching from SeMet data to native. Cheers Ed __ T.Edwards Ph.D. Astbury Centre for Structural

When I experienced strong difference density near methionines, It could be explained by an alternative conformation of the residue... greetings, david Original-Nachricht Datum: Fri, 13 Apr 2007 09:51:09 - Von: Ethayathulla Abdulsamath <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> An: [EMAIL PROTECT
