Dear Niu, Provided you have a complete asymmetric unit (unit cell in P1), you could also convert this map to structure factors and manipulate those, e.g. with sftools. To calculate structure factors you could use sfall and also clipper has utilities to convert a map to structure factors.

Mai 2014 23:25 An: CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK Betreff: [ccp4bb] map manipulation questions Dear All, I have a ccp4 format map file in P1 spacegroup, I would like to manipulate it in several ways: 1. enlarge the cell dimension . When I tried "CELL" keyword in MAPMAN, the density scaled up together with the cell dimension. Does anybody know how to do it without changing the density? 2. Change the space group to P2. 3. Move the density away from its original place, i.e. apply a translocation vector to it. Does anybody know the answers? Thanks in advance! Regards, Niu
