Re: [ccp4bb] another unknown density problem
Well - I would stick in waters - they can be very well rdered in certain environments. Anecote: We have spent ages trying to put some interesting compound into a "feature" in maps, untill the crystals finally diffracted to 1.6A and in that map it is very clear there are 4 beautifully shaped waters, with lots of hydrogen bonds to the surrounding amino acides.. So all that intelligent interpretation was unnecessary! Eleanor On 3 November 2017 at 21:02, Abhishek Anan wrote: > Dear all, > > My apology for the confusion!!

Dear all, My apology for the confusion!! I did mean the map radius is "truncated" at 5A. Poor choice of words :( Any thoughts on what this density could be are still welcome.

Re: [ccp4bb] another unknown density problem
If by "it was truncated at 5A for clarity" you really mean you truncated all low-resolution data from 5A and lower then I am not surprised you see funny densities all over or don't see density where it is expected. Why? Consult a textbook for the answer. All the best, Pavel On Fri, Nov 3, 2017 at 3:10 AM, Abhishek Anan wrote: > Dear Prof Schreuder > > Here are another couple of perspectives from coot.

Re: [ccp4bb] AW: Re: [ccp4bb] another unknown density problem
If you mean you truncated the low resolution data to 5 angstrom, I wouldn't recommend that.

[ccp4bb] AW: Re: [ccp4bb] another unknown density problem
You are right. In this case, I would put some waters in it, refine and see if the density gets any clearer. However, since from this perspective the density is quite far away from the protein, it could be a very disordered PEG, which, even at high resolution, might be impossible to fit.

Dear Abhishek, To me, it looks like an alternative conformation of the peptide chain or maybe even a conformational change with respect to the starting model. The peptide chain does not look too well defined, despite high resolution electron density.
