phenix.maps: a command line tool to compute various maps and save them in most

of known formats.

1. Run phenix.maps without any arguments: just type phenix.maps in the command line and hit Enter. This will creare a parameter file called maps.params, which can be renamed if desired.
2. Edit maps.params file to specify input/output file names, data labels and the desired maps. It is possible to request as many maps as desired. By default, the file maps.params specifies 5 maps to be created: 2mFo-DFc, 2mFo-DFc with missing Fobs filled with DFcalc, mFo-DFc and anomalous difference maps will be output in MTZ format, and one 2mFo-DFc map will be output in CCP4 format. NOTE: the anomalous difference map will only be created if the input reflection data file contains Bijvoet maps (F+/F- or I+/I-).
3. Run this command to compute requested maps: phenix.maps maps.params

• phenix.maps is available in PHENIX GUI.
• The scope of parameters 'map_coefficients' defines the map that will be output as Fourier map coefficients. The scope of parameters 'map' defines the maps that will be output as CCP4 or X-plor format.
• To create several maps: duplicate either 'map_coefficients' or 'map' or both scopes of parameters as many times as many maps is desired. Then edit each of them to define the maps.
• A map is defined by specifying a map type using 'map_type' keyword available within each scope of parameters: 'map_coefficients' or 'map'. The general supported format for 'map_type' is: [p][m]Fo+[q][D]Fc[_kick][_filled]. For example: 2Fo-Fc, 2mFobs-DFcalc, 3Fobs-2Fmodel, Fo-Fc, mfobs-Dfcalc, anom, llg. The 'map_type' parser will automatically recognize which map is requested.
• The program creates as many files with CCP4 or X-plor formatted maps as is requested, and it creates only one MTZ formatted file with all Fourier map coefficients in it.
• The CCP4 or X-plor formatted maps can be computed in the entire unit cell or around selected atoms only.
• Kick maps and missing Fobs filling is done (if requested) as described in Adams et al. (2010). Acta Cryst. D66, 213-221.
• Twinning (if detected) will be accounted for automatically. This can be disabled by using "skip_twin_detection=True" keyword.
• All arrays used in map calculation, for example: Fobs, Fmodel, Fcalc, Fmask, m, D, etc., can be output into a CNS or MTZ formatted reflection file.
• For those who likes to experiment: bulk solvent correction and anisotropic scaling can be turned off, the data can be filtered by sigma and resolution.
• For some map types certain 'map_coefficients' or 'map' scope parameters may not be applicable. For example, for "map_type=anomalous" the keywords "kicked", "fill_missing_f_obs" and some other are not applicable.
• For LLG map calculation, if you specify the wavelength any existing heavy atoms (P or heavier) will be modeled as anomalous scatterers using the theoretical values of f' and f''.
