I wish I could give a sensible explanation, but this feature is very common with heavy atoms. Possible problems. The default wavelength for all atomic scattering functions is Cu Ka - you can see the formula used and details in the file $CLIBD/atomsf.lib. The atomic scattering values are much t

Hi Deepthi, 1) refine anisotropic ADPs for Zn, 2) make sure charge is accounted for, 3) refine f' and f'' for Zn (that means you need to use anomalous data in refinement). If 1-3 do not help, add 4) refine occupancy of Zn, 5) make sure you visualize your map using correct levels. This should so

Please correct me if I am wrong. If I am understanding correctly, your refinement was against the data of SAD which used a wavelength to collect anomalous dispersion. Such kind of data have anomalous source atoms collected at a lower "real" atomic struc

Hi Everybody Thank You very much for your suggestions. I did play around with Zinc occupancy by giving 0.5 to each of them. I got rid of the negative electron density. But i think it still needs to be refined. Thank You very much once again Deepthi

Hi everybody, I am working on a mutant protein structure which is 56 aminoacids long and solved the structure using SAD( Single wavelength anomalous dispersion) with zinc ions. We used SHELX software to locate the Zinc atoms and solved phases. We got the structure as a monomer. The resolution of
