[Chimera-users] Fit in map equivalent for surfaces?

[Healey, Joe]

Thanks Elaine, that has done the job.


Out of curiosity, I noticed from your documentation that the fitting actually only 'kicks in' after the densities are overlaid by hand roughly first. Is there any mechanism for the objects to move to one another as in the MatchMaker function (considering automating this process)?


Alternatively, I could envisage perhaps centroiding both densities, and moving the centroids to occupy the same space, as which point fitting would take over. Any thoughts?

Hi Joe,
The fitting uses the actual map values, although you can delimit them by a surface.  So, I’d say there isn’t really a way to use the envelope or surface only, without the interior values.  However, you could use “molmap" to simulate density maps from the two atomic structures and then use the map-map fitting.
