[phenixbb] Phenix cut out density labels choice

[Terwilliger, Thomas C]

Hi Mikalai,

I'm sorry for the trouble!  If cut_out_density is taking the wrong map coefficients from your file, could you possibly send me the mtz file (off-list, terwilliger at lanl.gov) and any other inputs you are using, and I'll check it out here?

Or if you can just send me the full log file, that might help too.

Thanks very much!
-Tom T

Tom Terwilliger can probably add to this, because he's the author of phenix.cut_out_density.

On the point of the map coefficient labels, it seems sensible that the labels for the cutout density should be different from the input ones, because it is really a different map.  So I'm not surprised that there's a default to call them FWT,PHWT.

I'm not sure why the map you get is not your difference map.  However, there are two things that could be going on here.  First, by default I think that phenix.cut_out_density recenters the cutout map on the center of the mask, so the density may simply have moved.  Second, the sigma level that you have to contour the map at will be very different, so you will have to adjust the contour level to see the same features.

I hope that helps to explain what you're seeing!
