Hello All,
Does anyone know of any ‘newer’ programs that do what Kleywegt’s wonderful RAVE software package does?
What is great about RAVE is that you generate a mask based on the coordinates of a protomer, you then optimize your NCS operators using the masked electron correlation coefficients of the other protomers, and then generate a nice, averaged electron density map for model building. The electron density based optimization of the NCS operators is the best feature in my opinion. I am hoping that someone has automated this process of electron density averaging. Don’t get me wrong, RAVE does a fantastic job, but it is a bit time consuming and seems ripe for some automation (especially when teaching undergrads how to do this stuff). Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Best regards,
Z
