Hi Paul,
For me, dummy waters are waters placed in very early models, where it is not
yet clear whether the density belongs to a water, a rearranged side chain or a
ligand. In the course of the refinement process, it becomes clear to which
category the density really belongs. Especially for
Dear Paul,
with "dummy water" I refer to a water molecule, which I place at the center of
a (usually positive) difference electron density peak to be able to measure the
distances to the environment and decide, what the density actually might be. I
do that quite often. It could also be any

thing is still going strong, and in the open, with funding up to clinic.
Please do sign up if you're interested in drug discovery and
