Hi all,

Thank you very much for your suggestions. Refmac5 took care of the problem. I 
really appreciate your comments

This should do it (if not please get back to me off-list with sending data and 
model files):

Refinement settings -> Ligand linking , then Options->Link metals .

phenix.refine does not trust anything in PDB file header except CRYST1 records.

Hello all,

I am refining the structure of a metalloenzyme with 2 Mn, a cacodylate and 5 
residues coordinating the metal center (the active site) using 2.25 A data. I 
am able to place the residues in their electron density using Coot. However, 
after refinement using Phenix the metal-coordinating residues and the 
cacodylate molecule move out of their electron densities (they pull towards the 
metal center). Please see attached screenshot. The rest of the molecule is fine

The edits and cif files used in refinement were created using  Phenix ReadySet. 
The refinement options checked in Phenix are XYZ coordinates, Real space, 
Individual B-factors and Occupancies. X-ray/ stereochemistry and X-ray/ADP 
weights are optimized.

I am wondering if there is refinement strategy or anything that I can do to 
keep the residues in the electron density?

Your suggestions are appreciated
