Hi,

 

I am trying to make an SA-omit Fo-Fc map for a sugar ligand (chain B) bound to protein (structure solved by MR), without doing any rebuilding of protein or ligand – just calculate an Fo-Fc map that I can load into PyMol.

So far I used the AutoBuild – Create omit map module with these settings :

 

- input files : model (protein+ligand+waters), data (.mtz), restraints for sugar ligand (.cif)

- omit map type : simulated annealing

- omit region : omit selection

- omit map options : keep input waters,  omit chain list : omit_chain_list chainB

 

However, the ligand gets modified even though I use “omit_chain_list chainB”.

What are the parameters to set to keep the model (protein, ligand, waters) from being rebuilt ?

 

Furthermore, what is the procedure to load the SA Fo-Fc omit map into pymol ?

 

Phenix version is 1.6.4-486.

 

Thanks in advance,

Tjaard
