Dear Kavya,

I assume that you carried out molecular replacement without the ligand
in the search model (otherwise you are probably looking at model
bias). In that case the ligand most likely has reduced occupancy. You
can either manually set all atoms in the ligand to e.g. 0.5 or use the
'occupancy' keyword in refmac to refine it. The density maps should
improve.

Best,
Tim
