Abstract. The detection of side chains in protein molecules that are present in crystal in alternative conformations is a laborious part of macromolecule structure determination by X-ray analysis. In our work we show, that significant changes of atom coordinates during X-ray refinement without stereochemical restraints may indicate the presence of alternative conformations.

Key words: structure of biological macromolecules, crystallographic refinement, alternative conformations.
