Dear all:


I am trying to overlay two electron density maps for a model 1 and a model
2 arround an area of confusing electron density.
The way I have tryied doing it is by superimposing (using LSQKAB) my
model1 onto model2 to obtain rotation and translation values. Then apply
these values to map 1 to have it overlayed with map2 (using MAPROT).

ThE output of LSQKAB is as follows:

-------
...
  ROTATION MATRIX
    -0.682     0.709     0.182
    -0.008    -0.256     0.967
     0.732     0.657     0.180

  PATTERSON SPHERICAL POLARS OMEGA PHI CHI  OMEGA TO AXIS ZO    PHI FROM
AXIS  XO  TO AXIS  YO

 WHEN BETA=0 CAN ONLY DEFINE ALPHA + GAMMA .
 WHEN BETA = 180 CAN ONLY DEFINE GAMMA - ALPHA.

 CROWTHER ALPHA BETA GAMMA     79.31370    79.63331   138.06197
  SPHERICAL POLARS OMEGA PHI CHI    138.65047  -119.37421   151.50566
DIRECTION COSINES OF ROTATION AXIS     -0.32406    -0.57572    -0.75069

 Angle between rotation axis and Centroid vector    19.75700

  THE TRANSLATION VECTOR IN ANGSTROMS ALONG THE        ORTHONORMAL AXES IS
    54.17021     4.68176    75.50177

  THE TRANSLATION VECTOR IN FRACTIONS of the CELL  EDGE IS
    0.892866    0.029432    0.341637

      7857 ATOMS WRITTEN TO "LSQOP"
 LSQKAB:   Normal Termination
........
-----------

I have tryed aplying either the ROTATION MATRIX, the ALPHA BETA GAMMA
angles, the OMEGA PHI CHI angles or the DIRECTION COSINES with either the
THE TRANSLATION VECTOR IN ANGSTROMS or the THE TRANSLATION VECTOR IN
FRACTIONS but none of these transformation of the maps yield a map in
space arround the model that I get from the superposition.

I am wondering wether any of these values need any for of transformation
or wether there is a better way of obtaining the values for the opperators
I need to apply to my map to have it place in the right place in space.


Thank you very much for your help

Juan
