Subject: [ccp4bb] Query on density fitting to phosphate

Dear All,

Hope you all are doing well.

The density in the image (in link below)  is fitted with PO4 ion, although the 
crystallization condition has both mono and dihydrogen phosphate which is not 
fitting without hydrogen. But the resolution is 2.5 A, so hydrogen may not be 
put in, or is there any way to do so? Otherwise placing water is the final 
option.

Also the density is quite close to Aspartate, so PO4 may not be right. Can it 
be dihydrogen phosphate as two positively charged residues (Specially the 
lysine) are also nearby to neutralize positive charge? Other ions in the 
crystallization condition are Cl-, K+ and Na+. These are not put as both 
aspartate and lysine are at comparable distances from the density. The pH is 
6.2 in which dihydrogen phosphate is reported to interact with aspartate 
(https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5855859/).

Waiting eagerly for your reply.

Thanks and Merry Christmas in advance.
Best Regards,
Arpita
