HI Gaelle, If both the nucleotide already exists in the PDB (you can check on LigandExpo), you can just create a LINK description with Jligand in CCP4. See this tutorial: http://www.ysbl.york.ac.uk/mxstat/JLigand/tutorial_link.html If you have the cif file with the LINK description, you can just load it in Refmac. You also need to add a LINK record to you PDB file. Jligand will give you an example record.
