Hi Fellows,
I'd really like to emphasize the point in the Buster instructions "be
careful when
examining fo-fc at low levels" when solvent is excluded. If the solvent
contribution
is omitted where you suspect the ligand (e.g. occupancy 0.02 in Refmac),
there
will be a fo contribution there from the solvent that is there.
Particularly if that solvent is a
dense solution, that fo component will show up nicely and at not so low
difference
map levels, and in the shape of that 'excluded' ligand.
Figure 2 in link illustrates that.

If you start to fill that void with multiple ligands of various low
occupancies, you
are effectively modelling disordered solvent. This is particularly tempting
because
I found multiple cases where the classical RSR and RSCC measures give
acceptable stats for such models. The hunt for low occupancy ligands then
quickly
becomes murky density fishing business...
Best, BR

And if you want to try the original implementation of the underlying idea as
an alternative, have a look at the ligand detection mode and maps [1]
produced by BUSTER [2]. See also [3] and some early examples of their
usefulness [4-5].
