Dear Users,

I am currently refining a structure of a bacterial oxido-reductase enzyme and I’m trying to fit extra density seen on a cysteine residue. Would appreciate some recommendations re. what this may be (here is a link to the map- http://sdrv.ms/XTNTFs ). There is clearly one extra atom here (seen in both chains very clearly), but unsure what it could be … methylation? -SOH? The cysteine residue is not in the active site and is solvent exposed. The protein sequence was confirmed.

Thanks for any help.
Kirk Hevener

ps: the map was contoured at 1.2sigma and the difference map at 3sigma
