[phenixbb] covalently modified proteins

I have followed with interest the discussions regarding refinement of  
proteins with ligands. I wonder if Pavel or anybody else could  
comment on the refinement of proteins with covalently attached  
ligands. I am currently handling that in CNS as I know how to write  
the patches. Is this possible in phenix? Coudl it be handled by  
generating a "new amino acid" like say a Cys with beta mercapto  
ethanol attached and then get the program to link this "new amino  
acid" via normal peptide bonds with the rest of the protein? What  
about a capped N-terminus? can we make the "new amino acid" say N- 
acetyl-Gly and get the program to put this at the N-terminus?

Any help is appreciated.

Marcelo
