What problem does it solve?

This skill provides best practices for protein structure refinement and validation within Coot, enabling users to perform high-quality refinements safely and efficiently while avoiding common crashes and inefficiencies.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Safe scripting workflows: guidelines for immediate replacement mode, ensuring synchronous refinement operations.
  • Step-by-step refinement strategy: enable, set refinement maps, perform residue/zone refinements, validate density correlation and rotamer fixes.
  • Use Case: A user refining residues in chain A between residues 10-20 to improve density fit, with crash avoidance.

Quick Start

Run the recommended initial steps in your Coot scripting environment:

  • Enable immediate replacement: coot.set_refinement_immediate_replacement(1)
  • Set refinement map using coot.set_imol_refinement_map(imol_map)
  • Refine a residue range: coot.refine_zone(imol, chain, start_resno, end_resno, "")
