[Chimera-users] problem with ccp4 map fitting

Hi Michaela,

  I opened you atomic model and map and used Chimera command

	vop cover #1 atom #0

and it extended the map to cover the water that was outside the original unit cell map.

The first link describes the same or similar problem but in my case, the suggested solution depicts the map not quite correctly. I understand that Chimera was created for a different purpose than crystallography. Unfortunately, the COOT graphics is unacceptable for papers and websites. I have used Pymol but a map fitting and other options have certain imperfections as well. I work on a bioinformatics study based on analysis of tens of map files with the described problem.

Unfortunately, I cannot figure out how to make a correct view (in Coot, the map fits the molecule well), please, see the image/session in the attachment. I could not have found a guidance in the User's guide. Can you help me please?
