Peptide bonds are usually automatic, however, because only bond restraints
are permitted across symmetry mates it can sometimes be "interesting". Have
you try refining and checking the .geo file for the bond restraints?
Please feel free to send the model file directly to me for testing purposes.
Cheers

Hi All,
We are refining several structures in which the N-terminal residue of chain A appears to form a peptide bond to the C-terminal residue of its symmetry mate, chain A. In reality, the target protein consists of 4 identical helical repeats that pack end to end. Slippage and averaging over the 4 possible registers leads to the appearance of an infinitely long polymer in the crystal, with no breaks between protomers.
Is it possible to enforce a peptide bond to symmetry mates in Phenix, and what is the easiest way to do this? I have found a several cases in the archives on how to deal with symmetry clashes, but struggling to figure out how to deal with a peptide bond.
Thanks for your help!
Best,
Damian
