Hi,

When you reach resolutions higher than 0.8-0.9Å you
should consider doing multipole refinements as has been done with
aldose reductase
at 0.66Å (see Cell Mol Life Sci., 2004, 61, 774-82)
While the multipole refinement is great and well justified in *small*
molecule crystallography (I mean like for refinement of zeolites), I
would *really* doubt its use for macromolecular structure refinement.
Much simpler model parameterization can be used. Check out the reference
below for complete discussion:

electron density for individual bonds in proteins in conventional
difference maps).
Cheers,
