Please disregard this message. I have secured internal assistance - I failed to generate Fcalc and Phicalc in SFall, I understand how to do this now.

I am trying to generate an electron density map, using SFs and coordinates obtained from the pdb. Please feel free to refer me to appropriate threads, I'm having trouble finding them. I have generated an mtz file with hkl, F and sigma. Using FFT I made a simple map - but putting it up in Coot, along with the PDB file I used in FFT, I'm getting a non-sensical map. Clearly, I'm neglecting something important. The log file indicates that it is picking up the space group info (P212121). I don't have a lot of experience trouble-shooting maps in CCP4i. Any advice would be much appreciated. The EDS can't calculate maps for this structure either, it errors out due to R-factor discrepancy. Many thanks, Celeste Celeste M.
