[phenixbb] Adding H atoms onto ligand

Thanks Nigel,
I opened ANP and truncated the terminal PO3 and ran phenix.ready_set.  When I opened through phenix.reel, N atom has double bond to PB, thus has only one H atom, which I thought it should be single bond thus has two H atoms like any N6 of adenine.

So if you can tell me how I can handle to put correct geometry, it will be great.

Cheers,
YoungJin

You need to check that you and the PDB ligand database are talking about 
the same thing.  You can see what the ligand ANP is by

phenix.reel --chemical-components=ANP

If you have the non-hydrogen atoms of your truncated ligand, 
phenix.ready_set will add the hydrogens and may even add the correct 
number of hydrogens to the terminal nitrogen. But what about its name?  
I would recommend find the three-letter code that corresponds to your 
ligand.

One question what I have now is while I am adding H atoms into a whole molecule, how I can add H atoms onto terminal AMPPN (N atom). Unlike ATP case, it is very certain that terminal N atom should have 2 H's.  I did Molprobity as in the general case to add H atoms, but it didn't make it.
