Hello,Thank you for your kind reply.Do I need to link them together in the 
structure? Is there a method for that?

 Hello,
what immediately comes into mind is phosphohistidine, especially since the 
density looks rather large, but the geometry seems a bit off for that but I 
cannot judge only from one angle. You could of course try to fit it in and see 
how it looks.
Cheers,Arne

Hello all,
I have few blobs in an MHC II structure I am working on, especially opposite to 
Histidine as in the accompanying screenshot, that I am confused about.

In the crystal conditions, I have Tris, Imidazole, Acetate, PEG and Glycerol.
Whatever ligand I am fitting in I am getting a clash (overlap -1.029), which 
makes me think whether there is a covalent bond forming between Histidine and 
other molecule. Perhaps by oxidation.

I would greatly appreciate if you can advice me about it, whether there is some 
kind of ligand I can try to fit and if this is something that occurs in some 
structures.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Samer
