Hi, Peter, Does the radition damage have such a large effect? There are many positive peaks seeing from the difference map, seems abnormal. But I have seen such difference maps before which are OK for modeling and refining.
Actually when I try to modelling the Se-met into the positive peaks, the R and free_R factor goes up about 2%. Does the occupancy of the Se affect the R factor, or should I change the occupancy? Another problem is f' andf f" prime, which I refine them when phasing with Solve. Actually, I did not use the same free set when refining with the native data and peak data.I try to compare them because I want to make it clear that the difference may be caused by the mad data while not the model itself.
