difference map peak in coot not showing all peaks?
by Murpholino Peligro 04 Jun '14

04 Jun '14

In coot I have set the map contour level to 5.0 rmsd and I do Validate -> Difference Map Peaks ... and the new window shows me where the peaks are...but not all of them. For example, see screenshot attached. (there are peaks above sg cys80 and sg cy64, both appear in the visual window in coot but only one of them, cys80, in the listing. If I understand clearly, they should both appear in the visual window and in the listing because I have the same filter (5.0 rmsd). Right? Now...the peaks values are from Phenix doing a Isomorphous Difference Map ... So I do not know if this is from Coot or from Phenix.

Autosol and sequence file
by Stefan Knight 02 Jun '14

02 Jun '14

I don’t seem to have much luck with Phenix these days… Trying to run Autosol from the GUI but the process aborts immediately complaining that a sequence file is required to run Autosol. I have given it a sequence file in fasta format that is recognised as such when added. I’ve also tried instead pasting the sequence into the Crystal info window but that didn’t help. Grateful for any tip on how to convince Phenix it has all it needs to get going ;-).

How to add difference map peak value to B-factor column in Phenix-Coot after isomorphous difference map?
by Murpholino Peligro 01 Jun '14

01 Jun '14

Hi all. How to add a difference map peak value to B-factor column in Phenix-Coot after isomorphous difference map? Because what I get (after Phenix Isomorphous Difference Map) is a pdb with the peaks (chain A) and holes (chain B) with their positions given by UNKnown atoms, 1 for occupancy and in the B-column their peak-or-hole value. I would be happy if I could get the actual atoms with positions and the peak-or-hole value in the B-column. Thanks again and again.
