Thank you Garib..
So you have to copy the $CLIBD/monomers/t/TYC.cif to your own directory and change the string "non-polymer" to "L-peptide" Then use that as a dictionary entry and indeed that behaves as expected - ie forms the peptide link GLY-TYC Eleanor On 16 October 2017 at 12:32, Garib Murshudov <ga...@mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk> wrote: > These are default values. > > Decision about standard residue types are made using the info from the > dictionary.
