You need to define the symmetry_operation in this case, e.g.:
bond {
action = *add
atom_selection_1 = resname RXX and name NXX
atom_selection_2 = resname RYY and name NYY
symmetry_operation = -x,-y,z
distance_ideal = 2.8
sigma = 0.1
slack = 0.4
}
A few days ago Marjolein Thunnissen told us about this trick for
finding the symmetry_operation:
: Luckily it is actually not that
: difficult to find the symmetry operators when using coot. One just has to
: switch drawing symmetry atoms on and clicking on a symmetry atom, coot will
: tell you in the bottom line which atom it is and which symmetry operator was
: used to draw it...
