Re: [COOT] How to mask a map considering the symmetric operations?

2009-12-18 Thread Paul Emsley
Or to put it slightly differently: the masking of symmetry-related 
density works (only) when the cell and symmetry of the map is the same 
as the cell and symmetry of the atoms for the mask.

Hi,

you dont say how you obtained you map. Usually in Coot, thanks to 
clipper, the maps extend over the whole crystal space, i.e. you have 
the same map in all asu. However this only works if the map is either 
generated by Coot itself (from an mtz file) or if you read a map file 
which covers only/exactly the asu (or unit cell). I assume you didnt use 
either of these. So, please try that and you will get the same, masked 
map around all molecules incl the symmetry related ones. Alternatively 
you could write out the symmetry related molecules and masked them again.

Hi all,

I am looking for a strategy to obtain a density map which only contain
densities where no assignment was made in the model.

When I load a PDB file and its corresponding density map to coot, I
can mask all regions contain the model. And then several parts were
left around the edge of the model.

However, these parts are not totally the one  where no assignments was
made, because some of them belong to the adjacent asymmetric unit
part. I can display these parts by using  cell and symmetry function
in coot and can see the model overlap with the map.

But how can I also make masks on them and let only the part  where no
assignments was made left from the whole map. That is how to mask the
model and also its images.

Thanks

[COOT] deleting atoms from alternate conformations

2009-12-18 Thread wtempel
Hi all,
judging from what I see being used by my colleagues, COOT is well on its way
to world domination. Time to learn how to use it myself then...
Anyway, suppose I have split a residue, say lysyl, to model alternate
conformations of its side chain. Suppose further that I would like to remove
NZ from conformer B. Upon doing so, the current COOT implementation will
remove the atom. Good. It will also remove the confID from what was
conformer A's NZ atom and re-set its occupancy to 1. On the latter part,
intuition tells me that instead, conformer A's atoms should be unaffected,
namely keep their confID and sub-unity occupancy.
My questions:
1) What behavior is expected by other COOT users in comparable situations?
2) Should a few folks align themselves with my opinion, can COOT's behavior
be modified without unintended side effects? Specifically, I like COOT's
current behavior when Delete Residue is applied to alternative
conformations: Delete the conformer completely and set the remaining
conformer's atoms to Occ=1 and remove the confID.
Thank you for your consideration.
Happy Holidays to everyone!

Like Linux (haha).

Would the answer be different if a C or an O had been deleted? I'd 
rather ask: is Coot doing the right thing in such a case?  I suspect 
that Garib or Pavel may know.

Yes.

Specifically, I like COOT's current behavior when Delete Residue is

I think that that is just doing the above for many atoms.
