Hi Elaine, Thanks for your reply. Yes, I have ardently gone through http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/pipermail/chimera-users/2016-June/012366.html but ended up being confused as it seems no conclusion had been reached there, or I failed altogether to get the take home message from the discussion. Also, the "LocalFSC" thingy is not what I am looking for... But nevermind, lets wait for our "map expert" to be back in action and meanwhile I am waiting for others to bring in some appropriate answers. Thanks a lot for taking time. Best regards, Tofayel ________________________________ From: Elaine Meng <meng@cgl.ucsf.edu> Sent: Saturday, April 29, 2017 5:59:22 AM To: #AHMED TOFAYEL# Cc: UCSF Chimera Mailing List Subject: Re: [Chimera-users] calculate FSC curve between experimental cryo EM map and model Dear Tofayel, Our map expert is away this week and next week. All I can suggest is to take a look at this previous post (which you may have seen already): <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/pipermail/chimera-users/2016-June/012366.html> There is also a “localFSC” plugin to Chimera that you could get separately, see: <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/plugins/plugins.html> … however, I don’t know if it is relevant to your question. Sorry I couldn’t provide a more confident answer, Maybe other EM folks on this list will have some thoughts. Best, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Dear all, If I want to calculate FSC curve between experimental cryo EM map and model, what is the correct procedure to do so?
I will explain what I have tried so far. Although I have variable local resolution in my map, according to FSC=0.143 criterion I have a 4 Ang map (say 1.mrc), I have used 'molmap' command in Chimera to generate a simulated map at 4 Ang. Then I used "vop resample" to take care of the pixel and box values ( then saved as 2.mrc). Thereafter, I have used "e2proc3d.py 1.mrc fsc.txt --calcfsc=2.mrc and plotted the fsc.txt file to get the curve.
I am not sure if I am on the right track. My pixel size is 1.28. Best regards, Tofayel
