Hi Joel, Thank you for your reply. I just got time to refine the circular peptide structure 1 month later. I use MR to solve the structure. I made the link(Calculate-->Modeling-->Make Link) as the guy who replied to my question suggested. The link generated is a dashed line but disappeared after refinement with Phenix. It seemed that the program didn't consider the link made in coot as a valid bond and intentionally avoided forming a bond between the C atom and the N atom. I still don't know how to fix the problem. Thank you, Best regards, Jiang Lin Chen Lab University of Southern California
