Re: [ccp4bb] difference density ripples around Hg atoms

Well - there will be a ripple, but is it there in the difference map as well? that is meantto be less affected. REFMAC5 claims to be able to refine some atoms anisotropically and that would be a good place to start Maybe you will need to read the documentation! There is some way of

You've most likely looked at this, but if not it might be worthwhile to check how these ripples behave while varing the low-resolution limit used (20-2.2,15-2.2, etc). Pete Dear friends of the Fourier transform, I am refining a structure with 2 adjacent Hg atoms bound to cysteines of

Hi Klemens, As friends of the Fourier transform we hate to see it truncated. Although others don't think this is your problem I personally think it very well may be. To get a truncation effect you must first have truncated your data. - Is the I/SigI of your highest resolution data in the

Although I would certainly try refining just Hg anisotropically and think that truncation ripples are very likely, you should also take into account that mercury derivatives are particularly sensitive to radiation damage. Often the Hg atoms have departed (but may still be in the vicinity)
