Hi, Just one correction to this. Phaser doesn't substitute values with the same name in an output MTZ file. To get the anisotropy corrected F and SIGF values, you have to run phaser in the separate anisotropy correction mode, and even then it appends the string _ISO to the column names and

[ccp4bb] Temp Fact Variance Analysis

2012-03-01 Thread Uma Ratu
Hello, I run my model in Coot to do Temp Fact Variance Analysis. There are red bars from the B-factor Variance graphy. I click each red bar to exam the residues in Coot. Many of these residues do not have the electronic density on their side chains, especially Lys residues. Here is my questions:

Ros, I haven't used the Temp Fact Variance Analysis in Coot, but can guess that the red bars indicate increased b-factor compared to the average of your protein model? If so, then: *1. The lack of electronic density is the cause of these red-bars?* Likely yes. If there is no density to support

Hi, You could try to lower the threshold used to contour the maps for these side-chains (middle mouse button if you have a 3 button mouse with a wheel in the middle). Quite often such side chains have lowish electron density that does not appear at (say) 1.0 or 1.5 sigma (in the 2mFo-DFc

I'm worried when you say that you use the initial job's output MTZ. Refmac replaces F with a detwinned F in the output file so you wouldn't be refining against your measured data in the subsequent round. Best wishes Randy Read Randy J. Read On 2 Mar 2012, at 02:00, wtempel
