Help someone ask a question.

* How do CNS deal with the His NE2 atoms coordinated with Zn2+?

Dear all:
     we have a crystal structure with a Zn2+ tetrahedron coordinated by three 
His NE2 atoms and one water. 
Is the proper coordinating distance between three His NE2 atoms and Zn2+ ion is 
in the range from 1.95-2.1A? 
But we have not get this result by CNS refinement with parameter_infile 
'protein_rep.param and ion.param'. 
We think that the His NE2 atoms are non-protonated when coordinated with Zn2+, 
differ from the free His residues. 
But we don't know how CNS deal with the His NE2 atoms coordinated with Zn2+. 
How can we get the right coordinating distance?

Any help is welcome!
Best regards,

Deqiang Yao
