Hi,

First off I am pretty new to CCP4/X-ray crystallography so please bear with me as I try to explain my question.

I was looking at a protein structure from the PDB (let's say 1aho.pdb).

I have the corresponding MTZ file. I wanted to calculate the R-factor for some selected residues (lets say 17-40).

I can calculate the R factor for the whole protein using the (MTZ + pdb file) SFCheck tool.

Is there a way to calculate the R-factor for a segment of the protein?

I can generate a masked map using COOT as follows:
Extensions--> Maps--> Mask Map by Atom Selection (inverse)
But the result is a map and not a MTZ file
(the format I need for the next step SFCheck)

I tried using NCSMask but it did not work out.
Could someone suggest where I am going wrong in trying to calculate R for a small part of the protein?


Try something like this:

mapmask MAPIN coot-out-masked.map MAPOUT tmp.map << !
AXIS Z X Y
END
!

sfall MAPIN tmp.map HKLOUT sfs-from-map.mtz << !
MODE SFCALC MAPIN
SYMM 1
!


You might not need the mapmask step.

Paul.
