i
am trying to solve this crystal structure but
I am puzzled with an
undefined blob
that
appeared at a glutamine residue after refinement. I
have attached pics of that below.
Is
it a covalent modification of acid-amide side chain..
...
as there is no charged environment around and
density seems continuous.
following
reagents were encountered by protein
during purification, crystallization and soaking
:
phenyl
methyl sulfonyl fluoride
benzamidine
tris
dtt
(could it be cyclized dtt?)
k[au(cn)2]
acidic
pH
isopropanol
citrate
sulfate
phosfate
K+,
Na+, Cl-
