I think the number one criterion for choosing a map for a figure should
be "What am I trying to show in this figure?" If you simply want an electron
density mesh that covers your ligand calculate an Fcalc map. This type of
figure is usually worthless in a research paper but may have value in
I would calculate an omit map. Delete your ligand and use the resulting
pdb file to calculate a map. Density for your ligand will show up as
positive difference density.
