[ccp4bb] skewness in a good EM map?

2023-11-07 Thread Robert Oeffner
Hi, In crystallography one of the features of a good map is that the histogram of map values has skewness. Does this also apply to EM maps? Whereas X-ray maps depicts the electron density EM maps depicts the electrostatic potential as I understand it. Any pointers about skewness or not in EM ma

Hi Rob, the fundamental property of crystallographic or cryo-em maps -- the presence of high density points -- is what skewness depicts. So I can't see why the idea of using skewness to quantify maps would be any different for x-ray vs cryo-em. I've just downloaded a cryo-EM map for this (PDB: 8d3y
