Dear Eleanor,

setting occupancies of omitted atoms to zero has the danger of leaving a hole with the shape of these atoms in the bulk solvent mask, leading to positive difference density just because of the missing bulk solvent density. Since the days of X-PLOR, I always removed the omitted atoms. I never tried this with REFMAC5, though.

Cheers,

Dirk.

Well - I use COOT for this sort of task, and dont trust the automated tools.
my procedure is
load COOT - probably after a refinement cycle
set occupancy of ligand(s) to 0.00 ( Measures - residue information - change occupancy) Look at the environment critically . eg if an ARG or other bulky side chain nearby , or waters etc selectively set occupancies to 0.00

Doo some more cycles of refinement with this coordinate set to remove any memory of the ligand.

Look at the map - if the ligand and other zero occ atoms is still in the right place reinstate them, or try to reinterpret density..

    Dear Hari,

    With regards to 1) Is 15 the number of atoms in your molecule? Or
    is it the number of hydrogens? The CIF file may have the wrong
    residue name or lack the hydrogens depending on how you built the
    ligand-protein complex.

    There is also a phenixbb for phenix questions,

    *Subject:* [ccp4bb] Omit maps in phenix and ccp4


    Dear All,

    I have a ligand-protein complex and I wish to calculate different
    kinds of omit maps (say, composite omit maps, simulated annealing
    maps, other unbiased fo-fc maps ). I wish to omit the ligand and
    3.5 angstrom 3D space around it. I have tried phenix for this
    purpose but get this error message consistently.

    "Fatal problems interpreting model file: no of atoms with unknown
    nonbonded energy type symbols: 15 Please edit the model file to
    resolve the problems and/of supply a CIF file with matching
    restraint definitions, along with apply_cif_modification and
    apply_cif_link parameter definitions if necessary."

    This error occurs despite supplying the CIF file for the ligand. I
    have tried to remake the CIF/PDB files from SMILES strings, by
    drawing the molecule in both ccp4 (acedrug) as well as phenix
    (elBOW and Readyset go). Nothing seems to work.

    1. Is there something I have missed out that can solve this issue?

    2. Is there a program in CCP4i that can be used to generate the
    required omit maps?

    3. In general, how do I omit 3.5 ang of the space around the
    ligand during this map calculations?


    Thank you so much for your time.
    Hari
