Re: [PyMOL] Electron density map in pymol

[Schubert, C. [PRDUS] <CSC...@it...>]

Jhon,

all the newer builds of PyMol are able to read ccp4 maps, no need to convert to xplor format. 
As far as your commands are concerned, you are almost there. 
Try this:
load mymap.ccp4, format=ccp4, mymap
isomesh map, mymap, 2.0, site, carve=1.6

were map is the name of the map graphical object you want to create, mymap is the name of the object that holds the actual map as defined by the load command.

Subject: [PyMOL] Electron density map in pymol


Hello all pymol users

I am new to pymol and trying to open a .xplor map file in pymol to get the electron density map of publication grade. 
The command i write for pymol to open the file and show electron density map  is -

1) I convert ccp4 .map file into the .xplor file through mapman.

# mymap.xplor loaded as " mymap" loaded as state 0.
2) Then i load the .xplor map file into pymol and write the following commands-

isomesh map, mymap.xplor, 2.0, site, carve=1.6
isomesh: map or brick object "mymap.xplor" not found.


What could be the problem? can any one give suggestion to solve it?

Thanks in advance

Jhon
