Hi again,

Thanks to your advices, I was able create bonds of desired length for phenix.refine. But I have 2 more questions:

1) Perhaps naive, but how do I define dihedral angle? I tried:

dihedral {
     atom_selection_1 = name C18 and chain G and resname 1ZN and resseq 5
     atom_selection_2 = name C20 and chain G and resname 1ZN and resseq 5
     atom_selection_3 = name N4 and chain G and resname FGA and resseq 6
     atom_selection_4 = name C4 and chain G and resname FGA and resseq 6
     dihedral_ideal = 180
     sigma = 5
    }
And it was ignored by phenix.refine. Or dihedral is somehow defined just through the angles?

2) After I try to apply "real_space_refine" in coot to the ligand molecule - bonds which I defined in "edits" file break and my polymer again becomes several monomers. Is that normal?

Thanks again,
Vitali

This may solve your problems. I used

phenix.ligand_linking 3dw8.pdb

in a recent version. You should read the article, however, as it will
allow you to troubleshoot and obtain proof of linkage.

Cheers
