    Hi Smith,<br>
    <br>
    2-3 A is not atomic resolution, so you cannot meaningfully measure
    distances between individual atoms in your model at this resolution,
    I think (I guess it is safer to say that you can measure these
    distances, technically, but their meaning is not going to be
    straightforward to interpret).<br>

        </div>
        <div>Related to Joel's question, suppose the resolution is about
          2-3 A, and I have added H (should be modelled "H")for the
          refinement. If I want to measure the H-bond length between the
          NE2 and H of OH of Tyr, I need to measure the distance between
          NE2 and the "modelled H" of OH of Tyr. Is this "modelled H"
          position reliable for the length measurement of the H-bond?</div>
        <div><br>

          Joel,<br>
          <br>
          as was suggested main.nqh_flips=False should disable this. <br>
          <br>
          However I'm puzzled about this. NQH flips functionality is
          designed to flip these residues such that the clashes are
          minimized and plausible H-bonding is achieved. So I wonder why
          it is not working in your case?<br>
          <br>
          Would it be possible to send me input files (off list) so that
          I can reproduce this and investigate. Also please indicate HIS
          in question.<br>
          <br>
          Thanks,<br>
