Well, it is sort of a catch-22. If you already know what the signal looks like, then you're already done. But being close is better than being far away. The Wiener filter itself is described in the Undisputed Source of All Human Knowledge here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiener_filter As

MTZ files are not maps. They can usually be converted into maps, but that depends on the type of information they contain. Coot lets you load an mtz and immediately view a map, but only because it internally picks the coefficients that you probably want to use and then internally executes an i

An mtz file gives you a list of reflection related things . From this list you can calculate an electron density map. >From this map you can extract density values, but you probably will want to use some software to do this - counting numbers would become tedious! Eleanor On 28 August 2014 15:4

[ccp4bb] mtz map data

2014-08-28 Thread Alejandro Virrueta
Hello, I am new to crystallography refinement, and I have a question (I'm sorry in advance if it is a stupid one): Is it possible to extract all the density values (observed and model-computed) from an mtz file? I need this information in order to quantify the volumes of the difference regions (p
