[sharp-discuss] Native Fe in SHARP phasing

Ed,
that depends what kind of SHARP refinement you do.
If it's SAD/MAD (i.e. a single compound with all heavy atoms declared)
the SHARP map (from FB/PHIB in eden.mtz or FBsha/PHIBsha in
eden_flat_*pc.mtz) will contain the heavy atoms in the map. However,
after solvent flattening the peak height of these atoms will be
significantly decreased - all density modification assumes to some
degree simple solvent/protein features and doesn't take heavy atoms
into account. You might be able to play with it to some extent using
the 'min/max density truncation in "protein" region' feature in the
'Phase Improvement and Interpretation Control Panel': adjusting the
'max' to 0.0 will leave all high peaks in the "protein" as they are.
If it's SIR(AS)/MIR(AS) with your native data as first
compound(reference) the SHARP map will NOT contain the Fe (or any
other heavy atoms declared in other compounds).
But maybe you have even a more difficult setup
(MAD+native+derivative)? Could you specify this then?
Hope that helps.
Cheers
Clemens
