An mtz file gives you a list of reflection related things . From this list you can calculate an electron density map. From this map you can extract density values, but you probably will want to use some software to do this - counting numbers would become tedious! Eleanor On 28 August 2014

Dear All, I frequently use the Coot feature Fetch PDB and MAP using EDS... with great success when peer reviewing literature reports. However, when I try this for the recent KRAS structures deposited by Kevan Shokat and Jim Wells (Nature 2013), the Coot generated maps are garbage, although the

Hi Nick, Not sure what happened here, it seems like a bug in this EDS entry. You can try PDB_REDO for maps. In recent versions of COOT (version 0.8*) the button for getting maps and a model is just under that for EDS. There is a plugin for older versions of COOT. They look okay, but the model

You might consider using AnoDe (J. Appl. Cryst. 44 (2011) 1285-1287). This program and its documentation are available via the SHELX homepage. You will need a PDB file name.pdb of the native structure and a file name_fa.hkl that contains the anomalous differences. You can use SHELXC or XPREP

MTZ files are not maps. They can usually be converted into maps, but that depends on the type of information they contain. Coot lets you load an mtz and immediately view a map, but only because it internally picks the coefficients that you probably want to use and then internally executes an

The CCP4 FFT program does the 90-degree rotation automatically if you use DANO= as the column assignment. The rotation is because anomalous difference arise from scattering that is 90 degrees out of phase with normal electrons. -James Holton MAD Scientist On 8/29/2014 11:43 AM, Alexander
