#### Model map generation from a PDB coordinate model
#### Model map generation from a PDB coordinate model
To produce the desired result of locally contrast-optimized maps, LocScale requires a reference model map that accurately reflects the variation in resolution and contrast expressed in atomic B-factors. We therefore highly recommend to first perform coordinate refinement against a globally sharpened and locally filtered map as described in our BioRxiv preprint.
Produce locally contrast-optimized maps using LocScale requires a reference model map that accurately reflects the variation in resolution and contrast expressed in atomic B-factors. We therefore highly recommend to first perform coordinate and ADP refinement against a globally sharpened and locally filtered map as described in our bioRxiv preprint [1].
The model map can be generated by any procedure that computes the model map from B-factor weighted structure factors using electron scattering atomic form factors. We here provide a recommended procedure to generate the model map and check consistency with the experimental data using the provided [```prepare_locscale_input.py```](prepare_locscale_input.py) script.

LocScale maps can be computed using any source of reference maps for scaling. If you prefer to use your own procedure to generate reference model maps, we do recommend to make sure your map complies with the [following procedure](model_map_generation_from_arbitrary_files).
