Hi,

 

They’re likely both BME adducts, just in the first case the CH2CH2OH portion is way more disordered.

Subject: [ccp4bb] extra density on Cysteine

 


Dear all,

I am refining a 2.0A structure. I found that there were some extra density on two cysteines, even though I have added 5mM BME in the protein buffer.

I am wondering whether the first one (Cys292) is a bme and the second one is an oxidized  cysteine. Any suggestion?

I attached the images for your reference. thanks

Regards
