Re: [ccp4bb] Multiple conformations of disulfide-linked cysteines

Thank you for the prompt replies! I was able to resolve the issue by specifying an 'SS' id in the 'LINK' record for the individual conformers. (see Garib's post below) > From: CCP4 bulletin board on behalf of Garib Murshudov > Sent: Mon 3/8/2010 5:21 PM > To: CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK > Subject: Re

Automatically yes. But you can force it to use only one conformation. You need to use link record instead of ssbond (they are essentially same). To do this you need to put link records just before cryst1 card. Examples of link record are in: http://www.ysbl.york.ac.uk/refmac/data/template_l

The SSBOND record format cannot take alternate id's. However, refmac allows using LINK records (or LINKR in the newer versions) which support alternate id designations with the link id set to "SS" to refine disulfide bonds with alternates. See http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/html/refmac5/files/coordinates
