Dear Pavel, The serine contains no H atoms and the ligand has H atoms in the PDB file. How do Phenix refine deal with this two kind of H atoms at nearly the same place? I have deleted the H atoms of the ligand, and refined again. The coordinate is reasonable without H atoms being seen. So, I think the simplest way is to delete all H atom in such resolution. Best wishes!

On one hand you want that O-C bond to be 1.44A (that's what I see on your picture), on the other hand you want that H to be reasonable distance apart from O (and not 1.14A). I would guess if you want to define that bond you nee to delete H first. Could this explain what you observe? Pavel On 7/16/15 18:38, luzuok wrote: Dear Pavel, Thank you for your explanation. After adding the bond restrain and refinement, the position of the hydrogen from the bonded atom of the ligand seems not reasonable. This hydrogen is too close to the other bonded atom. I can even see this H atom links to two atom. It seems that the riding H of C23 cannot see the OG neighbouring to it. Best wishes!

Refinement uses standard restraints and those you define on top of that. Visualization tools use standard bonding patterns to show you the bonds (and sometimes also use distance based connectivity, such as Pymol). Visualization tools are unlikely to guess anything on top of that. So if you want to have specific bond in refinement, then tell refinement program to add it (and checking .geo file is not a bad idea to verify that it was actually added). Seeing that bond on graphics is a different story and it is outside the scope of Phenix refinement. Check documentation of visualization program you use to learn what's required to see what you want to see.

If I want to _see_ this bond in graphical tool, like coot or pymol, Do I have to add a link record in PDB? You are right Nigel, I made a mistake of python and Phenix version. Best withes!

After phenix refine, the link record was lost and there seem no bond between this two atoms (1.44 angstrom). Do you think this is a real bond? How to maintain this record? Any comment is appreciated!
