We are refining a 2.7 A structure with multiple ASN-NAG links using
phenix-1.3-final.
The torsion angle between the Asn amide and the sugar is quite
variable, while from the chemistry of this link we would expect a
value close to 180°, as reported in the PDB survey by Imberty & Perez
(Protein Engineering 8:669-709).
A quick look at some entries in the PDB revealed close to textbook
geometry for the NAG-ASN link in structures around 1Å resolution
(e.g. 1UWC) and gets much worse in some lower resolution structures,
including those refined with PHENIX.
The NAG-ASN link used by PHENIX does not contain a torsion angle
definition, and I would like to ask (i) if its appropriate to use
one in refinement, and if so (2) could people share their cif file
for this link.
