Hi, I wanted to do solvent flattening for my map using Wang's method. I used CCP4-DM, and now have several questions:
1. DM seems requiring the FOM, so I generated FOM using SIGMAA by providing FP, FC and SIFFP using the following: ############################ sigmaa HKLIN in.mtz HKLOUT out-sigmaa.mtz << eof title tt labin FP=FP SIGFP=SIGFP FC=FC PHIC=PHIC labout DELFWT=DELFWT FWT=FWT WCMB=WCMB symmetry $spcgrp END eof ############################# I think the output FOM should be in range between 0 to 1; however, it produced FOM between -1 to 1 based on my in.mtz. This leads to complaints by the following DM calculation, and I am not sure whether I could avoid this. 2. My DM script is as follows: ############################# dm HKLIN "./1KP8-NewSharpRescaleB0-sigmaa-oriB.mtz" HKLOUT "./1KP8-NewSharpRescaleB0-sigmaa-oriB_dm.mtz"<<dmtest mode - SOLV - NOHIST combine PERT scheme ALL ncycles - 1 solc 0.6 solmask - frac 0.6 - 0.4 - radius 3.0 2 ncsmask LABIN FP = FWT SIGFP = SIGFP PHIO = PHIC FOMO = WCMB LABOUT FDM=FDM PHIDM=PHIDM FOMDM=FOMDM FCDM=FCDM PHICDM=PHICDM END dmtest ############################## I am not sure whether there the above is ok for the purpose of a simple real-space solvent flattening using Wang's method. By the way, my map is at resolution 2.0, and I am not sure what is the best radius for this resolution. 2. Based on Wang's paper (Wang, B. C. (1985) Methods in Enzymology 115, 90-112), the solvent flattening is carried out in real space, and since my goal it simply modify my map, and I don't think I need FOM etc. So, can CCP4 (or anyother packages like Phenix, CNS, UPPSALA...,) provide a simple real-space solvent flattening without too much complications? Thanks a lot for any hints. Best Regards, Hailiang
