A re-refinement of 4xan , hen egg-white lysozyme (HEWL) with carboplatin crystallized in NaBr solution, has been made and is published here as an addendum to Tanley et al. [(2014), Acta Cryst. F70, 1135–1142] . This follows a previous re-refinement and PDB deposition (4yem ) by Shabalin et al. [(2015), Acta Cryst. D71, 1965–1979 ]. The critical evaluation of the original PDB deposition (4xan ), and the subsequent critical examination of the re-refined structure (4yem ), has led to an improved model (PDB code 5hmj ).

A re-refinement of 4xan , hen egg-white lysozyme (HEWL) with carboplatin crystallized in NaBr solution, has been made. This follows our response (Tanley et al., 2015[Tanley, S. W. M., Diederichs, K., Kroon-Batenburg, L. M. J., Levy, C., Schreurs, A. M. M. & Helliwell, J. R. (2015). Acta Cryst. D71, 1982-1983.]) to the critique article of Shabalin et al. (2015[Shabalin, I., Dauter, Z., Jaskolski, M., Minor, W. & Wlodawer, A. (2015). Acta Cryst. D71, 1965-1979.]), suggesting the need for corrections to some solute molecule interpretations of electron density in 4xan and removal of an organic moiety as a ligand to the platinum ion coordinated to His15. This had been mistakenly included in our PDB file in an attempt by us to model the `shaped' electron density for one coordination site to the Pt bound to the Nδ of His15, which we had rejected, and was not consistent with our Tanley et al. (2014[Tanley, S. W. M., Diederichs, K., Kroon-Batenburg, L. M. J., Levy, C., Schreurs, A. M. M., Helliwell, J. R. & (2014). Acta Cryst. F70, 1135-1142.]) article. We have considered the preference of Shabalin et al. (2015[Shabalin, I., Dauter, Z., Jaskolski, M., Minor, W. & Wlodawer, A. (2015). Acta Cryst. D71, 1965-1979.]) to model a chlorine in this density and a close-by bromine at partial occupancy to explain the `shape'. However, as the bromide concentration is in huge excess over chloride (by 20-fold), we think that the 4yem interpretation by Shabalin et al. (2015[Shabalin, I., Dauter, Z., Jaskolski, M., Minor, W. & Wlodawer, A. (2015). Acta Cryst. D71, 1965-1979.]) is highly unlikely, but nevertheless we still cannot offer an explanation for that shape, confirming our earlier analysis described in Tanley et al. (2014[Tanley, S. W. M., Diederichs, K., Kroon-Batenburg, L. M. J., Levy, C., Schreurs, A. M. M., Helliwell, J. R. & (2014). Acta Cryst. F70, 1135-1142.]).

The analysis presented here is based on new diffraction data processing to 1.3 Å resolution. The higher resolution limit was evaluated using EVAL (Schreurs et al., 2010[Schreurs, A. M. M., Xian, X. & Kroon-Batenburg, L. M. J. (2010). J. Appl. Cryst. 43, 70-82.]). In our accompanying arXiv article (Tanley et al., 2016[Tanley, S. W. M., Kroon-Batenburg, L. M. J., Schreurs, A. M. M. & Helliwell, J. R. (2016). arXiv:1602.07183.]) we document in detail our different solvent and split occupancy side-chain electron-density interpretations as evidence for our statement of approach in our response article (Tanley et al., 2015[Tanley, S. W. M., Diederichs, K., Kroon-Batenburg, L. M. J., Levy, C., Schreurs, A. M. M. & Helliwell, J. R. (2015). Acta Cryst. D71, 1982-1983.]). Our critical re-examination includes comparisons based on 4xan diffraction data images that have been reprocessed with three different software packages so as to evaluate the possibility of variations in electron-density interpretations resulting from the use of different software. Overall our finalized model (PDB code 5hmj ) (see Table S1 in the Supporting Information) is now improved over 4xan .
