: [ccp4bb] Unknown blob extended from catalytic serine residue
Dear All,
I am working on a structure with an unknown blob extended from the gamma O of
the catalytic serine residue. The resolution of the dataset is 1.38 A. I have
no idea whether the residue is modified or the blob belongs to

... You might be able to pick out where different atoms are by comparing
the peak height with the near-by protein atoms (ADPs & occupancy
notwithstanding). At your resolution you will be able to see that O > N >
According to your first fig. The Ser may carry a dual conformation. If
then, the occ ration could be ~ 7:3
According to your 1st, 2nd and 3rd figures, the geometry of the density is
tetrahedral. Can it be PO4 with the same occ (~70%) ?
If there were more figures available, the geometry of the un
It is always worth doing a anomalous difference Fourier especially with
such high resolution data. Very easy if you are using CCP4 GUI2 - just ask
for it as part of your refinement run.
It is likely the high peaks could be S - but you can check by comparing
their height to that of a MET S peak . B
Hard to see but maybe a transesterified serine like ser-o-AMP
Can you share the nature of the enzyme?

That is some blob! What is the expectd ligand? It is hard to see in these
pictures but are there rings? other chemical features? to be seen
You could let Arp/War build dummy atoms into it - and see what it makes.

I didn't see the figure, but I would not be surprised if cacodylate donates
a methyl group to make O-methylserine. Diethylene glycol is quite a bit
bigger than a methyl though.
Cacodylate is quite labile and undergoes radiolysis. It should probably
not be used for crystallization. If you either
