CCP4bbers, I am trying to do a restrained refinement in refmac using a rhenium tricarbonyl (RTC) fragment similar to the one in PDB 1I53. My understanding of how to proceed is to take the PDB description of the file, read it into sketcher, and then run libcheck to create the various cif and lib files in my local directory. Assuming I can get this to work (see below), then refmac should recognize the monomer files in the local directory from the residue name and use the proper restraints? Or do I need to explicitly read in the lib file(s) (e.g., libcheck_RTC.cif) in the LibIn field in CCP4i? I can read in the RTC PDB file below into sketcher and change the CO bonds to triple (they come up double on read-in), but then running libcheck dutifully makes the carbons sp2 and adds riding hydrogens. Arrrrgh. Running libcheck at the command line does the same thing with or without the HFLAG set. I would be grateful for any assistance/suggestions. I thought this would be an easy task... :) I must be missing something obvious. BTW, the RTC monomer in the HIC-UP server is incorrect: it is meridional instead of (the correct) facial geometry. THe PDB file below is correct.
