Dear phenix users,&nbsp;
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I’m refining a model that has FAD and SO4 ligands. &nbsp;Phenix makes a covalent bond between the N3 of the FAD and an O atom of SO4 during the automatic linking stage, even though the distance between the atoms is larger than the automatic link distance.
 The covalent bond yanks the ligands out of their density. I suppose I could disable automatic linking, but I’ve never seen this happen. &nbsp;I note that we recently upgraded to phenix-1.11.1-2575, and this may be my first refinement calculation with the new version.
 Output is shown below. &nbsp;
