Dear CCP4BB List Members, first of all I am not a crystallographer, but I would like to get some things clear, things I did not find in "Crystallography Made Crystal Clear" and on the internet for now.
I am trying to read electron density maps in the EZD format. These maps contain scaled values of electron density and size and shape of the unit cell. How can I convert the values of intensities (what is the unit of these values?) to the probabilities you can see in coot for example (1.03 electron / A^3), Once I have achieved this conversion, can I compare densities of different maps of different proteins? If not directly, is there a way to do so? Last, is there a way to know the experimental error made on intensity values of a map? Thanks in advance. -- Peter Schmidtke ---------------------- PhD Student - Molecular Modeling and Bioinformatics Group Dep. Physical Chemistry Faculty of Pharmacy University of Barcelona
