Same thing to me. I was able to assign a PEG molecule to a similar density.

Oh......
Thank you. I will try to fit it with a piece of PEG.
Best wishes.

    Hi Jiamu,
This is almost surely a nic piece you PEG3350. Regards, zsolt

    *Subject:* [ccp4bb] unknown symmetric density

    Dear All,
    Here I am refining a 2.0 angstrom resolution structure of a
    protein in complex with a 18mer peptide. Now the refined model has
    a R/Rfree value of 0.206/0.266. But there is no obvious density
    for the peptide. An interesting observation is that some strange
    density is located in the proposed protein-peptide interaction
    interface as shown in the attachment. The shown map is SACO map at
    1.0 sigma level. The strange density is near the 2-fold axis of
    the crystal cell, so the density is also 2-fold symmetric.
    Although I traced it with solvent molecules, I believe it is not.
    It seems not the peptide, either. But I can not image what it is.
    What do you think?
    The crystal condition contains Tris, Hepes, NaCl, ZnAc, and PEG3350.
    Thanks.
