[phenixbb] Meaning of "resolution" keyword for phenix.real_space_refine with mrc/ccp4 map input?

[Pavel Afonine]

Hi Oliver,

it is only used to calculate correlation between experimental map and 
map calculated form the model (model-map CC). When you run 
phenix.real_space_refine you provide model and experimental map as 
inputs. To calculate model-map CC you need to calculate map from atomic 
model first. This is done by first calculating structure factors Fcalc 
from the model up to specified resolution and then FT'ing them into 
Fourier map that is then used to calculate CC.
