L498 Thermolysin

In this tutorial, we assume that we are handed an SFX dataset containing thermolysin diffraction, but are not told anything else. We will have to go through all the data runs, figure out which one is to be used for dark subtraction, and account for untrusted pixels and detector metrology. At this point, we will be prepared to integrate and merge the data. Finally, we will perform simple molecular replacement and ask whether there is any Zn signal in the anomalous difference Fourier.

Discovery of data collection parameters

Log in to pslogin.slac.stanford.edu, and then to psana. Carry through flags so that X-windows will work

ssh -YAC $USER@pslogin.slac.stanford.edu
ssh -YAC psana

Go in to the working directory and source the package manager:

cd ~/myrelease
sit_setup

Create a subdirectory for the 2014 tutorial files if not already done:

mkdir -p cxi84914

List out the thermolysin XTC files:

ls /reg/d/psdm/cxi/cxi84914/xtc/e157

Grab this configuration file: mkdark.cfg and put it in your cxi84914 directory
