Hi Jon, Thanks for the reply. They’re going in as HETATMs. I didn’t try changing them to ATOMs because I checked my previous structure’s PDB file (one that worked fine) and they were in it as HETATMs.
I have changed them to ATOMs and it’s still “misbehaving” in real space refinement but shows a “link line” to the preceding and subsequent residue. But that appears to be due the linkage lines I previously entered into the header, as removing them removed this behavior. I put the file with the CSO as ATOMs through Refmac refinement and the same behavior occurs, loss of one conformation’s covalent bond to the preceding residue. They are changed back to HETATOMs by Refmac.
