Hi all

I want to know possible method to get  electron density map for ligand only.

The material are  2mFo-DFc map downloaded from EDS server and also
coordinates from PDB.

The electron density map contains protein, water and ligand. I want to
build a electron density map only for ligand.

How can I do that with help of some usual softwares like coot, ccp4

You can use any arbitrary atom selection.

Hi

There are some problems still existing.

The pdb file contain two domain A and B. As I do not know how to
select protein segid A and B and also waters at the same time, I do
mask as following:

First, I read .pdb file and then .ccp4 file. Then I use
ExtensionMapsMask map by atom selection. I use //A/1-124 for Atom
selection input, then export this map to a1.map

Then read it back and ExtensionMapsMask map by atom selection with
//B/1-124 for Atom selection input, then export this map to a2.map

and then do same thing to mask water molecules in A and B
(//A/129-200) (//B/129-200) and finally got a4.map.

Then I use mapman to transfer a4.map to a4.cns that can be read by text editor.

However, I find there are some differences between a4.cns and that
from initial  .cns file.

They have different grid points.


What I think before is when I open a4.cns, I can find at which point
the density was set to be zero like this:

a4.cns
1.222E-1 0.000E0  1.222E-1 1.222E-1 1.222E-1

.cns
1.222E-1 1.222E-1 1.222E-1 1.222E-1 1.222E-1

That is I can find relationships between a4.cns and that .cns.


But now I can not find it as they have totally different grid points.

Is there any thing wrong in my procedure?

How does coot to mask electron density maps?
