while you refine your structure you can call them whatever you like (XXX, ABC,
WTF, USA, NSW, ...) as long as it's not already used in the refinement
program's dictionary. when you deposit, you have to contact the deposition
centre and they will assign a three-letter code

an mtz file contains reflections; dsn6 is a format for electron-density maps.
so you will need to calculate a map first and then, if you really want to, you
can convert it to dsn6 format (e.g. with mapman or, if you have an ASCII CNS
map for instance, using the mapman server,
