Dear Tobias,

A good example of this is Insulin, where the Zn atom sits on a
threefold. See e.g. 1MSO. If you know what the metal is, just put it in
with 0.33 occupancy, and see if the refined B-values and coordination
make any sense. Always create symmetry neigbours in your building
program of choice (Coot for me nowadays...) to see what is going on.

Subject: [ccp4bb]: Handling density at crystallographic symmetry axis

Hello ccp4bb,

I have data with electron density at a crystallographic threefold axis.
The density is not perfectly spherical and I suspect a metal to bind at
this site.  What is the best strategy to handle density at
crystallographic symmetry axes? 
Does anyone have similar experience of this kind?

Regards Tobias
