[phenixbb] anomalous difference map

[CPMAS Chen]

Hi, Phil,

Is it right to model the whole ligand molecule to the anomalous difference
map? For some sites, the overlap between anomalous difference and
difference map is small, while the anomalous difference or difference map
itself is rather big.  The anomalous difference is way bigger than a single
Br can be.

Thanks!

Charles
