Hi All

With so many alternative suggestions, wouldn't be better to leave it without guessing the wrong molecule?

For some reason if your sulfur on cysteine becomes sulfide anion, you can model 
sodium/potassium. Distance seems to be optimum for S...Na contact. Since you do 
not see any anomalous signal, this is one possibility. I also see small blobs 
around which may resolve to be water molecules.

Hi Sergei,

At a first glance I thought so too, but if it is an arsenic atom there
should be a strong anomalous signal. Also the distance 2.5A seems a bit
long.

Dear Lumbini,


Certainly not a proof but your density looks like
(di)methyl-arsinoyl-cysteine (PDB residue type CAF). This modification
can happen when the protein has been exposed to cacodylate buffer. You
can find such residues (and maps) in the PDB entries 3LPT or 5MDI.


Best wishes,

Sergei

     Well - that more or less proves the residue is a CYS - there is a
     peak in the PHAN map right on the S.
     And that the extra density does not contain an anomalous scatterer
     so is probably not a metal or a sulphate or...

     But that still doesnt explain WHAT it is . Sorry not to be more help..

                     Dear all,____

                     ____

                     We have found a huge Fo-Fc density close to cysteine
                     residue (see attached image) in the structure with
                     resolution of 1.2A. In the crystallization
                     condition, we have PEG 3350, Potassium phosphate
                     monobasic, glycerol and protein was in Tris and
                     NaCl. Before freezing the crystals were soaked in
                     mother liquor containing sodium dithionite.____

                     ____

                     I have tried different modified cysteine (CSX, CSO,
                     OCS, CME, CSS, SNC,CSD, CXM,SCH,CSU) from the
                     library and also SO_3 , SO_2 ??and peroxide. But in
                     all the screenings we do see some part of Fo-Fc
                     density unaddressed at 3 sigma.____

                     ____

                     Does anyone have an idea about what this density
                     could be? Covalent modification?____

                     ____

                     Thanks.____

                     ____



                     ____
