Hi Nika, - As Herman wrote, you should use common sense to interpret a polder map: if the ligand is not there, this kind of map may show only bulk solvent. So the appearance of some density in the area of the ligand does not "prove" that the ligand is there. Also, map interpretation should be done

Dear Jon, I don't think we have any disagreement. I just wanted to emphasize that you should have your plan thought out at the start. You may have decided that you will compare your ligands shape with your map using a Real Space R Factor. If you don't like that number the fault isn't in

Dear Nika, The question is about a Fo-Fc map and the replies have been focused on such maps. However, I question why you are bothering with Fo-Fc maps. The ligand was soaked into the crystal. There is probably an isomorphous apo data set available. A [Fo(ligand complex) - Fo(apo)]*exp(alpha_apo

I’m with Dale on this, the scientifically prudent thing is to set the rules and then play by them. Not to change the rules as you go. Of course, in a teaching environment where you know the correct answer, it is good to be educational and learn how to dig a bit more. However, in a scientific se
