<p class="MsoNormal">Hello everyone,<br>
<br>
I have (what I think is) a very simple question: what is the particular value of "level" (that is, the threshold) that appears automatically when one opens a 3D density map? After playing around with the threshold, I always feel like the initial value is the
best one, but I wonder what exactly this value is. In the online documentation of Chimera, this issue is addressed. The text reads that the initial value of this threshold is such that 1% of the voxels have density values above it. Is this really the case?
Only voxels with intensities above the threshold are displayed. Am I seeing only 1% of the voxels, then?<br>
<br>
I am afraid, I am confused.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thank you very much, in advance.<br>
<br>
