Re: [ccp4bb] EDSTATS for an extracted fragment

Thank you Ethan. Supposing I want to compare with the experimental map, a small fragment of the model (let's say residues 15-30 in a protein of 100 residues). Supposing I start with one model but now extract from that model residues 15-30 (let's call it model 1) , modify it and now want to check

Hi, sorry small clarification. The "complete PDB file that you used to run the refinement job" (i.e. the input PDB file) will obviously only be suitable in the case that you did 0 cycles of refinement. If you did some refinement of the model then the co-ordinates will have changed, and then you n

Hi, I'm puzzled by what you are trying to do. You say you have the original MTZ/MAP files. What have the original files got to do with it? EDSTATS requires the MTZ/MAP file calculated for the supplied model. The documentation states: "... the PDB file and the maps should all be from the same ref
