Dear all, Thank you for your replies, I actually saw the options in coot that Chris and others suggested and I already tried it before, but for some reason it did not work for me. Maybe I`m doing something wrong. So I open in coot pdb1 and map1 for mutant 1 and pbd2 and map2 for mutant 2. Then I go to extension map, transform by LSQ model fit, I specify the reference (pdb1) and moving (pdb2) structures, specify the residue and the radius (by the way there is no option to specify the map). I assume coot does it automatically, since I specify the moving and reference structures. Then, all coot is doing, is creating transformed copy of pdb2 (which is in alignment with pdb1), and a transformed map. But this transformed map does not match the transformed copy of pdb2. Actually it does not match any of the pdbs? Thank you, Milya.
