Re: [ccp4bb]: view map in pymol

Zhongli,     i think you are innocently and unknowingly stirring up the 'bees' again with Pymol questions here on the ccp4bb.  I recommend signing up with the pymol-specific mailing list and posting all your pymol questions there.  It is VERY GOOD and people are more than willing to help you out.  Below is some info from a previous ccp4bb post that can definitely help you.   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Jacob Corn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: October 16, 2006 18:56:11 GMT+02:00 To: shivesh kumar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: ccp4bb@dl.ac.uk Subject: Re: [ccp4bb]: ball and stick model in pymol Shivesh, Why not check out the pymol wiki: http://www.pymolwiki.org The page describing ball-and-stick display is http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Ball_and_Stick There is also a pymol-specific mailing list at http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=4546 with a searchable archive. Jacob ----------------------------------------------------   With that being said, you can view 'electron' density maps with Pymol by first loading the map and then using the isomesh command.  You can find more about this in the manual and at pymolwiki and even by googling your question.  You cannot at current (as far as i know) directly import an MTZ file into Pymol to display a map.  If using this approach, I would recommend using Coot, which does allow you to use MTZ files to display maps (given that the MTZ file is accurately setup).  I do believe questions about Coot are 'fair game', although I hear there is a separate bb for that also.    Hope this helps and Best of Luck!         Cheers, Nick                 ----- Original Message ----- From: Zhongli Cui To: ccp4bb@dl.ac.uk Sent: Thursday, October 19, 2006 8:04 PM Subject: [ccp4bb]: view map in pymol Dear all,      I would like to know if I can view electronic map in pymol.
