there is no LINK in the input coordinates file, it was the first I checked.

I had a similar problem in Feb. 2017 with a sulfate ion running into a flavin. It turned out the PDB file mistakenly had a “LINK” line forcing a covalent bond where there should not have been one. I deleted the LINK line from the PDB file and everything was fine. 

I think Pavel looked into the automatic linking algorithm with my files but I never heard of a resolution to the issue.

Dear all,

I have a protein-ligand structure with several chains in the AU. After refinement one of the ligands forms a close contact 1.8A with the protein. For the rest of the protein-ligand chains the same interaction is as expected to 2.7-2.8 A forming an H-bond. I tried to adjust this ligand with coot but everytime I am getting back the same 1.8 A close contact. There is enough density for the ligand and I can even see that it can fit better to distance 2.4-2.5A H-bond with the protein
Is there a way to constrain this distance to more than 2A? Should I fix the ligand atom that interacts? Unless I am missing something more fundamental. The ligand cif file is the default in phenix, the data set is a quite decent 2.3A.

thanks in advance for any suggestions
Nikos
