Hi, I'm using phenix for the refinement of my protein (phenix.refine). But there is a problem... My protein contains a ligand. For this ligand I use the optimal coordinates wich I downloaded from the HIC-Up server. Then, as coot and phenix need a cif file, I generate a cif file using the PRODRG Server and select (copy-paste) the Refmac5 output --> *.cif . Below you can see the content of this cif file and also the pdb file. Coot can use this cif file. But when I refine the protein (e.g. even only individual sites) the ligand "explodes". In coot you then see only single atoms and no bonds. To illustrate this you can see a pictures on this website: http://gallery.me.com/ruben.vandermeeren#100216 --> "exploded" First I thought that phenix could not find the cif file, but the correct path (via monomers) is given in the parameter file and I also used the command line to import the cif file, but still the ligand "explodes". I use the latest version of phenix for mac (phenix-1.4-3). But more important: I also tried refmac (from ccp4) to refined my protein with it and here there is "no explosion". So refmac does something that phenix doens't: it can refine my protein with the ligand. You can see the nice picture on this website: http://gallery.me.com/ruben.vandermeeren#100216 --> "as it should be". So my question is on how to resolve the issue using phenix.refine. Is phenix somehow unable to read the contents of the cif file?
