Do not know what the resolution is here, try an anisotropic refinement of the 
Cys side chains first to see if this solves your problem.

Greetings everyone,

I'm currently in the process of modeling a disulfide bond in two structures. 
However, when I attempt to model single occupancy for the cysteines involved in 
the bond, negative density blobs emerge within the disulfide bond. This 
suggests the possibility of alternate conformations for the cysteines.

Yet, when I endeavor to model alternate conformations for both cysteines, their 
occupancies do not align despite running refinement with a bond parameter file 
that specifies the link. To illustrate, I initiate the refinement with

post-refinement, the output occupancies appear as Cys472 A0.84/B0.16 and for 
C384 A0.97/B0.03. Where A confs participate in the s-s bond.

Has anyone else encountered this issue before, or does anyone have suggestions 
on how to refine these cysteines to achieve coherent occupancies?

Thank you for any insights you can provide.

In the CCP4 program refmac5, you specify occupancy groups and then 
specify how to refine them.  The setup, afaik, is not automatic.


Documentation for how to do it is here:
