Hi Vinson Beyond the possibility for another type of residue as already suggested by Phil and Mark, there is also the possibility of O-linked glycosylation of the serine and threonine, if your protein undergoes such post-translational modification and it has been expressed via an expression

Dear Savas and all, Thank you very much for all your quick suggestions. I have tried Tyr and it turns out to fit the density very well. I will have the protein sequenced again to see if it is wrong sequece or O-linked glycosylation. I'll let you know if it turns out to be O-linked

Hi Savvas, You're right. It shouldn't be O-glycosylation, since the protein is from Archaea and expressed in E. coli. Most possiblly, I think it's something wrong with the sequence. Thanks for your help, Best, Vinson   发件人: Savvas Savvides
