DM is kind of past tense (unless you are dealing with multicrystal averaging) -- I'd use parrot or shelxe instead (both pretty fast and automated). NCS operators as input do not seem to be in fashion these days, so you might have to put up with heavy atoms or partial MR models...
I would not necessarily expect NCS related bits of the density to be fully identical. JED. From: CCP4 bulletin board [mailto:CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK] On Behalf Of Tommi Kajander Sent: 20 December 2011 16:19 To: CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK Subject: [ccp4bb] density mod., NSC and software.. Dear all, Stupid question: if i do density modification (flattening and extension say from 6 to 4Å) w/o averaging on a symmetrical, say dimer, would you expect the thing stays symmetric nevertheless? (in particular if there is a strong peak in the NCS??) (seems to me it doenst necessarily...) favorite programs for NCS averiging?? DM obviously, and solomon doesnt do it. Others that do it (with out a PDB or atoms to derive it from, but rather operators) Thanks, Tommi Tommi Kajander, Ph.D., Docent Structural Biology and Biophysics Institute of Biotechnology University of Helsinki Viikinkaari 1 (P.O.
