Hello All,

We have run into a problem recently when working with cif files for ligands 
that have been either soaked or cocrystallized with the proteins we are looking 
at.  Most of the ligands cif files have been used previously and while not in 
the CCP4 library database are available from the pdb ligand database.  Now when 
we go to use them, specifically in coot after refinement in Refmac we get an 
error saying there are no restraints for the ligand.  We have tried reading the 
cif file in before and after reading the pdb file in.

We can put the molecule/ligand and cif file into Phenix and all seems well with 
coot but when moving back to CCP4/coot we still have the problem.    Both CCP4 
and Phenix are using the same version of coot so I don’t think it is a version 
problem with coot.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks,
