Re: [ccp4bb] HKL to mtz
Use XPREP to convert HKL to SCA file (options D and W) then CCP4 to get MTZ, Lukasz Wojtas From: CCP4 bulletin board on behalf of ameya benz Sent: Thursday, October 5, 2017 11:01:35 PM To: CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK Subject: [ccp4bb] HKL to mtz Hi, I want to convert HKL file to mtz. I tried using F2mtz but somehow the output mtz is not working. What parameters should I set during conversion.

What does your HKL file look like (show us the first 10-20 lines)? Are you running f2mtz from one of the GUIs, or from a a script or commandline? What parameters did you give (or what was your script)? (often the FORMAT statement is the problem). And in what way the output mtz file is not working? maybe use mtzdump to show what you got. Hope that will lead to a speedy resolution!
Re: [ccp4bb] HKL to mtz
By HKL, I assume you mean an XDS output file. In that case, xdsconv from the XDS package works. Pick one of the CCP4 formats (like CCP4_I+F). Then, xdsconv essentially tells you to run f2mtz and cad (I think) with certain options. It does employ a French-Wilson scheme for converting negative intensities, if you like that. I had been encountering (for a long time) one issue, though. The OUTPUT_FILE parameter seems to not take effect (at least in the CCP4_I+F format) and defaults to something like output_file.mtz within the commands xdsconv instructs you to type. Manually change it. Engin On 10/5/17 10:26 PM, Edward A. Berry wrote: On 10/05/2017 11:01 PM, ameya benz wrote: Hi, I want to convert HKL file to mtz.

Hello, Using Combat followed by Scala in CCP4 works well with as input the .HKL from XDS. or, Pointless-Aimless-Ctruncate with which it is also easy to exclude batches . best greetings, Ruud On 6/10/17 05:01, ameya benz wrote: Hi, I want to convert HKL file to mtz.

Re: [ccp4bb] HKL to mtz
Is your HKL file unmarked scaled data from XDS? If so read it directly into the Data Reduction task (pointless / aimless truncate) to produce a merged mtg file. If the data is already merged, then f2mtz can convert it to an mtg Eleanor On 6 October 2017 at 07:05, Ruud Hovius wrote: > Hello, > > Using Combat followed by Scala in CCP4 works well with as input the .HKL > from XDS. > or, Pointless-Aimless-Ctruncate with which it is also easy to exclude > batches . > > best greetings, Ruud > > On 6/10/17 05:01, ameya benz wrote: > > Hi, > > I want to convert HKL file to mtz.

pointless -c xdsin XDS_ASCII.HKL hklout xds_ascii.mtz aimless hklin xds_ascii.mtz hklout merged.mtz << eof scales unity eof should do it - is how I usually do this & it also gives a nice merging report...

Re: [ccp4bb] HKL to mtz
Note that Combat and Scala are both obsolete ccp4i2 has useful tasks for importing unmerged data (Data reduction) or merged data (Import merged data) from various formats Phil > On 6 Oct 2017, at 07:05, Ruud Hovius wrote: > > Hello, > > Using Combat followed by Scala in CCP4 works well with as input the .HKL from > XDS. > or, Pointless-Aimless-Ctruncate with which it is also easy to exclude batches > . > > best greetings, Ruud > > On 6/10/17 05:01, ameya benz wrote: >> Hi, >> >> I want to convert HKL file to mtz.

Re: [ccp4bb] HKL to mtz
You know, after f2mtz you can often have an mtz file with an unconventional ASU setting or unknown sort order. This breaks certain programs. So, I always run the result of f2mtz through a do-nothing run of the program called "CAD". Even if you don't tell it to do anything CAD always produces a "saeitized" output mtz. Have you tried that? -James Holton MAD Scientist > On Oct 5, 2017, at 8:01 PM, ameya benz wrote: > > Hi, > > I want to convert HKL file to mtz.

Re: [ccp4bb] hkl to mtz with anomalous data
Tim I think you could import it using COMBAT (with the "user-define" option), making a file which could be merged with Scala. Scala can also write a scaled but unmerged mtz file, but I don't whether other programs can use this It would easy for me to make POINTLESS read unmerged hkl files if this was useful. Does the file just contain "h k l I sigma"? It would need the cell dimensions as well Best wishes Phil Evans On 29 May 2008, at 20:32, Tim Gruene wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello everyone, we have been trying to convert an unmerged hkl-file to mtz such that the labels F+/F- or F/DANO (or I+/- etc respectively) are calculated, and failed so far.
