The CCP4 program that makes the "label map" you are looking for is SFALL. It can be told to make a .map file where each grid point is still a floating-point number, but instead of the usual electron density it "encodes" the residue number, atom number, etc. The OVERLAPMAP program knows how to de

Hi all I'm trying to 'measure' the density in a region of my structure by integrating the electron density there (notwithstanding errors in F000). I understand that both overlapmap and phenix.real_space_correlation compute density surrounding individual atoms for their calculations. Is there any

Dear George, I really appreciate your kind offer but I have just solved the problem. To all that may have the same issue in the future, I should say that in my case the problem was related to the use of SHELXPRO. I was not using it properly to transform the chains read by SHELXL (numbered)

Anita, Proteolysis and oxydation are the most common alteration affecting proteins during the course of crystallization. If you have drops of the trays that yielded crystals I would run a gel on those drops and look at the aspect of protein still around in the drop. That would give you some clues.
