[phenixbb] how to generate an isomorphous difference map

[Philip Kiser]

crystallogrphy,

If you did everything correctly, you should be able to directly calculate
the difference map in Coot from the MTZ file generated by PHENIX. You would
need to open it with "Open MTZ" rather than "Auto open MTZ" and then select
the appropriate map coefficients. Note that what Tim described (a real
space difference map) is technically different from the traditional
isomorphous difference map where the SF amplitudes of the two data sets are
subtracted prior to the map calculation.
