[sharp-discuss] ask SHARP residual maps

Dear Cholien,

your error comes from the CCP4 program FFTBIG. I had a quick look at
the source code for that program, but couldn't find anything obvious
in there why it crashes. My guess is, that it might have to do with
either spacegroup and/or grid dimensions. Some ideas:

  1. make sure to always refer to your spacegroup as H3 or H32. These
     are the official names for the hexagonal setting (gamma angle 120
     degrees). R3/R32 are for the rhomboedral setting (which is hardly
     ever used). Make sure that your MTZ files all have the correct
     (H3/H32) space group symbol.

  2. if your MAD data goes to 2.3A, I would use a MTZ file with just
     your 4 MAD wavelengths at the beginning (this MTZ file should
     have a resolution limit of 2.3A too). You don't need the native
     1.75A data for imrpoving your heavy atom model - only if you want
     to do MAD+native in SHARP.

  3. have you tried using autoSHARP in MAD mode? If you already have
     some Se sites: put these into a little file
     (sharpfiles/datafiles/Something.hatom) and select this file in
     the autoSHARP input form. See also

     http://www.globalphasing.com/sharp/manual/autoSHARP1.html#datafiles

     For simple cases like MAD, MIR, SIRAS, SAD etc it is always the
     easiest to run autoSHARP, which will (hopefully) do everything
     for you automatically (in most cases), including the completion
     of your heavy atom model.

Hope that helps.

Cheers

Clemens

My MAD data consist of native, peak, edge, and remote. The resolution of native data is 1.75A; the MAD data are around 2.3 A. After processing, I predict the spacegroup of structure probably is R3 or R32. I use the native data as reference. I want to check residual map by O to find more probably Se sites, but the SHARP error, the error messenger as addition file. I guess what happen within SHARP link to O or I have no idea. Would you tell me what/how can I do?
