Hi Young-Jin,
Nigel who wrote the phenix.metal_coordination utility isn't back yet from the holidays. You may be running into a limitation of the utility. To work around it, I'd try with a temporary copy of the PDB file with the alternative conformers removed. The resulting .edits should be a good starting point.
If this doesn't get you on the right track could you send me (not the list) your pdb file?

Hi everyone and wish your happy new year.
I have a question regarding phenix.metal_coordination. when I typed my
pdb file that has two alternative conformations of different species
including metal such as a metal(B) and a water(A). It seems like, in
this case, phenix.metal_coordination doesn't read the metal.
Otherwise, is there other way I can let make .edits file for this pdb
file?

Thanks always in advance,
Young-Jin
