[Chimera-users] Visulaizing maps from COOT in Chimera

[Oliver Clarke]

Hi Cedric,

Chimera cannot extend the map to cover your molecule - it does not have the symmetry expansion features available in coot. I have an extension for Coot (available as part of this script: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0b4bebwxw0p9x0e/oli_custom.py?dl=0) which will open the region of the map(s) currently displayed in coot in Chimera, perhaps this will be useful for you. 

Alternatively, when you are calculating the map, make sure you calculate it to cover your entire molecule (there are options in both phenix and refmac for this purpose).

Cheers,
Oli.
