Figure 7
A slice through electron densities of protein GapN in a P1 crystal of size $[5\times 5\times 5]$ unit cells. (a) We show a realistic crystal with a solvent fraction of 33%. (b) We show the same molecule but with extra 20% unit-cell lengths of extra solvent between each lattice point, yielding a solvent fraction of 80%. Individual molecular units are displaced to increase intermolecular spacing.
