Dear CCP4bb,

I'm trying to insert an Acetone molecule between two cysteine residues

where the disulfide bridge was chemichally opened and inserted an 
acetone molecule between the two cysteine.


MS data confirm this modification (98% of molecules modified) but I 
can not insert the acetone covalently linked to the S of both cysteine

(S-ACN-S).
Maybe what I think and what I am doing is not the right solution (the 
disulfide bridge is still alive?) anyway i would like to know how to 
link the acetone to the two cysteine




Here's how to make a link between a ligand and the protein using Coot 
and Acedrg:

Making a link from a ligand to two protein residues is tricky (I 
wouldn't know how to do it off the top of my head).

To verify the presence of a non protein ligand, you need to come at this
from an unbiased perspective.

1. Remove what you think is not there (e.g. disulfide bond) by truncating
the Cys residues
2. Examine the difference density map to see if it conforms to your
expectations of what is proposed to be there (or does not)
3. If appropriate, build and attach ligand and re-refine. I am assuming
that you are proposing a thioketal adduct, which is not the same as
inserting an acetone molecule in the structure.

You can find generic instructions for these types of tasks on my
XRD-protocols site, https://sites.google.com/colgate.edu/xrd-protocols.

As also suggested by Dr. Roger you should first see the density then the
next step of molecule addition is suggested.  Omit is also a good idea for
further confirmation.

Hi Yadav,
yes, this is only a representation of what I would like to do. If during
the refinement will continue to appear density, probably I'm on the good

The first step would be to verify consistent, convincing electron density
for the proposed thioketal adduct. A good way to start might be an "omit"
map of the region by mutating the Cys residues to Ala, truncating them to
the beta-carbon. The resulting difference density may be suggestive of a
thioketal adduct or a simple disulfide bridge. Building the thioketal, if
actually present, will require addition skill with ligand building and
Coot. You are essentially attaching an isopropyl group to the two Cys
sulfur atoms.

Hi Daniele,
Do you see Fo-Fc density  near disuphide bond where you are trying to fit
