No map loaded with refined_coot.py if not using half-maps #18

Open daniel-s-d-larsson opened 1 month ago

daniel-s-d-larsson commented 1 month ago

When I refine a structure with a full map, the refined_coot.py script does not load the map itself in Coot, just the difference map. The size of the refined_diffmap.mtz seems smaller than the diffmap.mtz produce from running with half-maps, so perhaps the mtz file is not complete? Perhaps the coot script could be modified to load the input map for the refinement instead?

While it's possible to use a single map, we generally recommend using half maps for optimal results. The difference map can also be less effective due to the inherent challenges in calculating weights and sharpening values. Therefore, I am hesitant to add more support for the single-map mode at this time.

Given that it is mandatory to deposit half-maps, I think it would be ok to completely remove the single-map mode. With sufficient advance notice, and a deprecation period over several CCP4 updates, that should be fine.
