[phenixbb] define acetyl-methionine for coot and phenix

Hi Paul,

I am sorry I did not understand that advice. What is the group definition
for a residues or compound?  And I do want AME connected to the polypeptide.

I actually got a decent structure out of Phenix with AME connected to the
next residue. AME is composed of heteroatoms at this point. When I read
this into coot, it looks alright, but I am not able to manipulate any
conformations for the AME because it is not defined. What do I need to
define, or is it perhaps a better approach to just define an acetylgroup
and link this to the N-terminal normal methionine?

Ursula
