Hallow,
Thank you for your kind attention. I am using CNS 1.2 to solve my structure
with molecular replacement. As a novice CNS user, I was trying to follow the
tutorial given at the CNS website. I have a tetramer. I have two queries.
1. There are two maps prepared from the self_rotaion.inp. Those are patterson
maps, namely
self_rotation_ p1.map and
self_rotation_ p2.map
I was trying to open those with mapman but probably mapman is more inclined to
electron density maps,(may be wrong as I am very new user of these softwares).
While trying to convert it into ps file with o2d, pltdev etc I was not
successful. I am just inquiring if there is any tool to convert those map
files to *.ps file, or can see those map files.
2. Another thing I want to learn if there is any direct way in CNS (such as
feeding the self_rotation_list or self_rotation_ matrix to) to automatically
find out all the different chains present in an asymmetric unit and prepare
the model (with all chains). Because from the CNS tutorial I follow the way to
fit my search model into my data.hkl as a dimer but It is a tertamer. Then
after fitting the dimer I follow the same way { translation. inp -->
merge_structure. inp --> shift_molecules. inp} to fit the next monomer into
the dimer but unfortunately it is failing at the stage of merge molecules as
trimer.The coordinates assigned, which seems totally rubbish
ATOM 1 CB ALA 1 9999.0009999. 0009999.000 1.00 0.00 A etc...
(omitted the total chain: all are same coordinates and occupancy and B factor)
and for B chain
ATOM 2555 CB ALA 1 9999.0009999. 0009999.000 1.00 0.00 B etc...
(omitted the total chain: all are same coordinates and occupancy and B factor)
and for C chain
ATOM 5109 CB ALA 1 32.637 74.346 146.854 1.00 20.00 C
etc..
(Omitted the total chain: all are taking a reasonable values)
Will you please help me with these problems. Thank you very much for your
attention and suggestions in advance.
Your Sincerely
Debajyoti Dutta
