Hi Ivan,

two ways (at least) to do it in PHENIX:

- phenix.refine always computes anomalous difference Fourier map (provided that your input data file contains Fobs(+) and Fobs(-)). The command below will do it:

phenix.refine model.pdb data.mtz strategy=none main.number_of_macro_cycles=0 output.prefix=maps_only

- you can use phenix.maps that is a general tool to compute a broad variety of maps. Type "phenix.maps" from the command line for usage instructions. You need to have the latest development (or one of) PHENIX nightly build for this.

All this is available from the GUI too.

Pavel.

Hello,


I wanted to make an anomalous difference fourier map of a structure with zinc bound to it. However I have not been successful in making the map and I would really appreciate your help if anyone could suggest me where I am going wrong.

I solved this zinc bound structure, by molecular replacement from a calcium bound structure (1.4 angstrom) that I solved. I want to show that the zinc binds to the identical site by the anomalous difference fourier map.

I am using CCP4i and the steps that I have been taking are, (names of the files are arbitrary)

1) generating structure factors and phases from the solved coordinates by SFALL

  Input files
  zinc bound pdb
  original zinc .mtz data from synchrotron

 output file
XXXXsfall.mtz

2)merging the XXXXsfall.mtz containing the PHICalc and FCalc columns with the original synchrotron .mtz file containing DANO and SIGDANO by running CAD.

 input files
XXXXsfall.mtz and zinc synchrtron .mtz

output file
CAD.mtz

3) Running FFT to make anomalous map, selecting labels from CAD.mtz as input files.

There is an output map file but nothing in it. all the values are 0 and the map is not recognized by coot. There is no error message in the log file.

I must be missing something or doing something wrong/stupid.


Thanks,

Ivan
