Hi all, a common issue with membrane protein strustures is that at the end of refinemnt, there are (almost) always blobs of unassigned density covering the hydrophobic region that can't be built (because they are too small for a complete detergent molecule for example). Would it be feasible/allowed to build individual methyl/methylene groups in those blobs, much like is done for waters? Within CNS, what topology/parameter files would have to be used?
I seem to recollect a fairly recent membrane protein structure paper that introduced something like this, but for the life of me I can't remember the reference.
