Hi all,
Since some emails were not REPLY ALL, I have answered them here:

The structure solved with MR; high sequence identity. Disorder occurs
only when ligand is bound.  Model is almost 90 % complete except the
disordered region. Please let me know if I can deposit structure as it
is. I took example 1fcc (also low resolution). Seems many residues are
outside Ramachandran plot (even Residue 266 has no density at all).
Does it mean I can deposit this?

The density looks similar to it.
