Hello all,

In homo-dimeric or homo-oligomeric protein crystal structures, what would be 
the reason for having a ligand (chemical compound or fragment) binds to one 
molecule and not all molecules in the asymmetric unit?

I have soaked a fragment that has an affinity of 200 uM to a viral protein but 
I can only see it binds to one molecule (we have eight molecules in the AU). 
This is was also notable as well in some published PDB (dimeric protein).

Any suggestions?

Best wishes,
Shymaa
