Dear all,

funny, I just gave a talk partly abuot this at the IUCr computing
school in Kyoto today. Weird coincidences ..

Anyway, to explain things a bit more (although previous posts already
did most of it):

 - FP/SIGFP are the 'native' amplitude and sigma

 - HLA/HLB/HLC/HLD is the phase probability from SHARP as
   Hendrickson-Lattmann coefficients: these are in sync with FP/SIGFP

 - you can calculate an initial map in two ways:

   FB/PHIB = map including (average) heavy atom contribution
   Fcent/PHIcent = map of light atoms only

This is all that's needed for running DM (I don't know RESOLVE, but I
guess it is similar in the input it wants):

  LABIN FP=FP SIGFP=SIGFP -
        HLA=HLA HLB=HLB HLC=HLC HLD=HLD -
        FDM=FDM PHIDM=PHIDM

The important points are

  a) use FP/SIGFP as amplitude and sigma (even if these don't really
  correspond to measured data)

  b) use HLA-D for phase combination (usually you should use the
  experimental phases _before_ density modification whenever you do
  phase combination, if you get HLs after density modifcation these
  will often be very biased)

  c) use FB/PHIB or Fcent/PHIcent to calculate starting map: this is
  only for the initial map, not for phase combination later during
  density modification.

If you want to start from the SOLOMON result (eden_flat_XY.Zpc.mtz)
the columns are named

  FPsha/SIGFPsha
  HLA/HLB/HLC/HLD
  FBshasol/PHIBshasol or Fcentshasol/PHIcentshasol

For density modification at normal resolution (i.e. better than about
4A or so), in my experience SOLOMON gives excellent maps ... but
doesn't handle NCS in a useable way.

For a more theoretical background check our 2003 paper (Acta D)
regarding this.

Hope that helps ...

Cheers

Clemens
