Yes, as Jacob says, alternative conformation of the serine. Quite common.

Subject: [ccp4bb] Serine

Dear All:

Some of serine residues in my model have extra positive Fo-Fc density at the 
edge of side chain. Some don't have. It is not like from phosphates.

I am wondered what is the cause for these extra density. Could these serines be 
post-translational modified?

I have the images attached. P289ser-0512-1 does not have the extra green, where 
P140ser-0512-1 has.

Thank you for you advice and comment

Uma
