Hi Pavel,

I guess one which might a very good example for your requirements is Urease 
from sporosarcina pasteurii. The active side is covered by a “mobile flap” 
(chain C, residues 320- 340). Depending on the active site bound molecule 
(substrate analogue, inhibitor, …) the flap can occur in the open (for example: 
4CEU) or in the closed conformation (for example: 6QDY). But in some cases both 
conformations are visible, for example (PDB:6H8J). These structure has a high 
resolution of 1,5 Å and nearly all atom positions are well defined, except the 
atoms in this flap. The loop is modeled in both alternative conformations with 
an occupancy of 0,6 for the closed and 0,4 for the open conformation. This is 
only one example, but I have seen many more with these Urease.

Hope that helps.

Best wishes,
Miriam

Subject: [ccp4bb] ISO model with large groups of atoms in alternative 
conformations

Dear community,

I’m looking for an example of a crystal structure where a large group of atoms 
(as large as a whole chain or even a domain) have more than one distinct 
conformation that would require modeling of such chain/domain as more than one 
individual copy, with each copy having partial occupancy. I’m not sure if that 
even exists but if someone can share an example that'd be very much appreciated!

Thanks!
Pavel
