It seems that the text editor of mac is not recognized by phenix as its not in ASCII format. I could input the file when I saved it in notepad from windows. Thanks a lot for the help.
Okay, I think you can get around this in the future by selecting "Make plain text" from the "Format" menu in TextEdit.
I also want to know whether its possible to assign the charge of the metal in the chelator complex, or is it ignored in refinement.
Yes, see here: http://www.phenix-online.org/pipermail/phenixbb/2010-March/014722.html I don't think there's an easy way to do this without editing the PDB file by hand (a practice that is normally best avoided), but I'll look into it some more tomorrow. Bear in mind that this will have no effect on geometry, just scattering. -Nat
