-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 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.
