Hi all,

In one of my 1.6Ang resolution structure, I came across a strange density. I tried to model this with PEG but after refinement still peaks appear around PEG at ~1.45-1.7 Ang.

The images before and after PEG insertion is at:  http://mole.mbfys.lu.se/~saraboji/peg_density.jpg
(Fo-Fc and 2Fo-Fc is at 3 and 1sigma)

I feel this to be a PEG modification, which I could not resolve. My crystallization condition contains PEG, Sodium acetate, and Zinc chloride. Does anyone have experience in resolving such a density?

Thanks in advance

With best regards
Saraboji
