Re: [ccp4bb] DM NCS averaging question

2010-08-29 Thread Eleanor Dodson
The commonest error with averaging is getting the mask wrong. Check that the CCs after application of the averaging start at a reasonable value - 0.3 at least and increase with each cycle ( by the way why do ncycle 1?) But in the end the density will not be identical, the Fobs are not

Well - if the CCs are 0 then no averaging can take place. You know you can let DM make the mask itself - are you using the GUI? It shows you what to set.. Eleanr zhan...@umbc.edu wrote: Hi, Thanks for reminding me checking the mask. I think their might be something wrong with the mask,

Re: [ccp4bb] Is the difference between mFo and Fo maps supposed to be very small?

2010-09-01 Thread Eleanor Dodson
Remember you need to look at half the contour height in a mFo map compared to a 2mFo-DFc map - the same domain should show up but at a lower relative contour level in both maps. REFMAC calculates a similar WCNG and you can look at the graph of m after refinement to see how close it is to 1.

That seems the right procedure. I presume the two crystals have similar cell, etc? What is the Riso plot from scaleit look like - if it is 55% + then there is no isomorphism, but if it is 30% then the map should be reasonable. which phase did you use for the map calculation? Eleanor
