(1) In general those values are pretty low. Having a high of .35 is not
very good. The extremely low negative values are most likely due to pieces
of the structure that are sticking out of the map significantly, where
correlation is undefined. You could also try using the "threshold" option
in the Timeline cross correlation parameters (try 0.1 for example) which
will remove some of the excess noise around your structure from the
calculation. Is your structure that you are analyzing the result of a
fitting, like MDFF? Without actually seeing the map and model it is hard to
say anything more concrete.
(2) It is okay that Timeline and mdff ccc do not give exactly the same
results. First, if you ran Timeline with default options, the correlations
are calculated on sections of contiguous secondary structure, not
per-residue, so the CC's are not being calculated on exactly the same
parts. Second, the algorithms used by the Timeline and mdff ccc are not
exactly the same, so there will be small discrepancies, but shouldn't be
more than a few hundredth.
