Lina,

If you want to create an "omit" map for your ligand using CCP4i, you can find instructions here for both Fo-Fc and 2Fo-Fc maps:

http://capsicum.colgate.edu/chwiki/tiki-index.php?page=Model+Building+and+Validation#Creating_Omit_Maps_for_Ligands_using_Refmac

To display an omit map in Pymol around your ligand, you can find instructions here:

http://capsicum.colgate.edu/chwiki/tiki-index.php?page=Visualization+of+PDB+files#Visualizing_Electron_Density_Maps

These last instructions are the same as those I posted on the CCP4 wiki.

Hi Lina,

do you already have any electron density or reflection file (*.map, 
*.mtz, ...) or do you want to create a "fake" density from your 
structure? It's not clear from your question.

Cheers,
   Thomas

Hi,

I went through the pymolwiki and cross this page:

http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Display_CCP4_Maps

I have some questions:

1] do I need generate the map from ccp4

  (I have already installed the ccp4i, but seems not easy to know how
to get the map)

2] For small molecular (ligand), the ccp4 is the best way to obtain
its  electron density map?

Seems those questions are not so-pymol-related, but I wish if someone
are familiar with this, can give me some advice??

Those questions might be easy, but to me at present it seems very confusing.

Thanks with best regards,
