MAP_CALC

MAP_CALC menu block includes items performing map calculations.

It is loaded with the MAIN_CMDS:load_map_calc.com

For more information see also MAIN_DOC:calc_map/calc_map.html.

BULK_SOL

Bulk solvent correction: toggles the flag ON or OFF. The actual optimization of linear and exponential coefficient is performed each time when "RE_PHASE" is clicked.

See also MAIN_DOC:calc_map/calc_map.html and MAIN_DOC:refine/refine.html.

ANISO_B

Overall anisotropic correction: toggles the flag ON or OFF. The actual optimization of the 6 parameters defining the anisotropic distorsion is performed each time when "RE_PHASE" is clicked.

See also MAIN_DOC:calc_map/calc_map.html and MAIN_DOC:refine/refine.html.

ML_MAP

Maximum likelyhood map: toggles the flag ON or OFF. When "ON" the "sigma A" formulation of maps is used during the actual map calculation (clicking on "FO-FC_MA" or "2FO-FC_MA". When of the least square weighting is used. It only works when the "TEST" reflection set has been defined.

See also MAIN_DOC:calc_map/calc_map.html.

RE_PHASE

Calculates structure factors (PHASES) and R-factors (R-work and R-free) of your current model. When the "TEST" set is not defined, the whole data set is used as the "WORK".

The file MAIN_CMDS:re_phase.cmds is the default macro and it usually works fine. You can use your own files, by providing your local file.

Subroutine arguments:

PHAS_CMB

MAIN calculates model structure factors via the "RE_PHASE" macro and writes them to a file, which is processed by a phase combination program invoked via a shell command. The resulting phases are then written to a file and read by MAIN, which then based on given FOBS, PHASES and WEIGHTS calculates a new FOBS map.

MAIN calls R. Read program SIGMA A, a program from CCP4, for phase combination procedure. The "create_phase_comb.pl" tool will create for you the necessary macros.

Subroutine arguments:

See also MAIN_DOC:calc_map/calc_map.html.

FOBS_MAP

Calculates an Fobs map on the basis of the read Fobs, corresponding phases and weights (figure of merit). You can use your own files. The file MAIN_CMDS:calc_fo_map.cmds is default file that you can tailor to your needs.

Subroutine arguments:

2FO-FC_MAP

Calculates an 2Fobs-Fcalc map from the last calculated structure factors using the MAIN_CMDS:calc_fofc_diff_map.cmds macro. It depends on the "ML_MAP" item. When on it used maximum likelyhood weighting and when off the least square weighting of resolution bins.

Subroutine arguments:

FO-FC_MAP

Calculates an Fobs-Fcalc map from the last calculated structure factors using the MAIN_CMDS:calc_fofc_diff_map.cmds macro. It depends on the "ML_MAP" item. When on it used maximum likelyhood weighting and when off the least square weighting of resolution bins.

Subroutine arguments:

KICK_0.3

Choose the displacement parameter ("KICK_0.3" or KICK_??"). For refinement 0.3 is maximum tolerated by the minimizer, whereas for kicked map much larger kicks (see"KICK_??") can be specified") can be specified.

KICK_??

Choose the displacement parameter ("KICK_0.3" or KICK_??"). For refinement 0.3 is maximum tolerated by the minimizer, whereas for kicked map much larger kicks can be specified"kicked map much larger kicks can be specified.

KICK_SEED

Sets the strating "SEED" for the random number generator. At each call, the seed variable "RAN_SEED" is increased for 1. The "RAN_SEED" is "MAIN" internal variable, which value can be directly set and inspected using the MAIN syntax:


> set  vari RAN_SEED
> show vari RAN_SEED

MAP_+_??

The number of maps generated by a different random number seed to average ("MAP_+_??"). The rule of a thumb is at least the kick parameter*10 repetitions.

KICK_MAP

For orientation:

With zero kick and averaging of 1 maps the resulting map is pure 2Fo-Fc map.

Averaged "2FO-FC" map is calculated by clicking "KICK_MAP".

Note that averaging "ML_MAP" maps occasionaly result in maps worse that the "ML_MAP" without kicking.

OMIT_MAP

An averaged omit map is calculated by clicking "OMIT_MAP". With zero kick and averaging of one maps the resulting map is pure Fo-Fc map. The parts selected in the current key "active" are omitted from structure factor calculation. Apply the same kicks and numbers of maps for averaging as for the kick maps.
