[phenixbb] Adding H atoms onto ligand

Thanks a lot Nigel,
I could generate new .cif file. Then I need to combine this ligand information while I am adding H atoms to model.pdb (protein+ligand). when I simply type "phenix.ready_set model.pdb" it will wrongly generate strange.pdb file. My question is how I can add this new geometry information (.cif file) while adding H atoms into modle.pdb file to make protein and ligand has H atoms in correct way.

Thanks again in advace.

If you opened the CIF in REEL you can right-click on the P-N bond and change the order to single. You can then use the menu Action -> Build -> Add Atom to add a hydrogen to the nitrogen by clicking on the nitrogen.

Thanks Nigel,
I opened ANP and truncated the terminal PO3 and ran phenix.ready_set.  When I opened through phenix.reel, N atom has double bond to PB, thus has only one H atom, which I thought it should be single bond thus has two H atoms like any N6 of adenine.

So if you can tell me how I can handle to put correct geometry, it will be great.

Cheers,
YoungJin

You need to check that you and the PDB ligand database are talking about 
the same thing.  You can see what the ligand ANP is by

phenix.reel --chemical-components=ANP

If you have the non-hydrogen atoms of your truncated ligand, 
phenix.ready_set will add the hydrogens and may even add the correct 
number of hydrogens to the terminal nitrogen. But what about its name?  
I would recommend find the three-letter code that corresponds to your 
ligand.

Let me excuse to post another similar issue.
I was now modifying AMPPNP ('ANP' in its library name). Although it came from coot/ccp4 library, phenix does not recognize so I had to generate .cif file from the pdb.
 As it turned out AMPPNP is hydrolyzed in the crystal having AMPPN (terminal Phosphate group needs to be removed), I made from coot (simply deleted  atoms) and made another .cif file. One question what I have now is while I am adding H atoms into a whole molecule, how I can add H atoms onto terminal AMPPN (N atom). Unlike ATP case, it is very certain that terminal N atom should have 2 H's.  I did Molprobity as in the general case to add H atoms, but it didn't make it.

Another questions is how I can remove H atoms from the pdb file. I did "phenix.refine model.pdb remove="element H" but got a message as below:
Processing inputs. This may take a minute or two.
Sorry: Ambiguous parameter definition: remove = element H
Best matches:
  refinement.refine.occupancies.remove_selection
  refinement.geometry_restraints.remove.angles
  refinement.geometry_restraints.remove.dihedrals
  refinement.geometry_restraints.remove.chiralities
  refinement.geometry_restraints.remove.planarities

Thanks in advance,

YoungJin
