Hello Everyone,

I have a reasonably well fitted electron density map through molecular replacement. However, there is always some red region left no matter how hard I tried when the mtz file is loaded into Coot. Is this because my model is still not good enough or it’s natural to most model fittings.


Negative density (with absolute value above 2 sigma) sitting on atoms is much more of a concern than random negative peaks floating in the solvent breeze, as it indicates misplacement of the model.



In another word, should I be worried about the red region? Thanks in advance.


I've alway found it very helpful to worry about absolutely everything obsessively to the point where it causes endoderm to bleed. Which is why, I suppose, Paul chose red.
