Hi Eleanor, Thinking about this you are most likely correct that COOT has created this issue. The coordinates were in PDB format. Best wishes, Joanna From: Eleanor Dodson Sent: 03 February 2025 15:17 To: Joanna Zukowska Cc: CCP4BB@jiscmail.ac.uk Subject: Re: [

I think it is probably a COOT issue - if you add a TERMINAL RESIDUE in COOT after res 430 say, it should delete the previous TER record.. A TER record is meant to flag the end of a protein chain, so I guess really REFMAC is to be congratulated for acknowledging that, and the other programs congratu

Unfortunately we cannot share this file due to an NDA. However we think the problems were due to some missing residues being built in through the "get monomer" option which COOT and molecular replacement (PHASER) does not seem to have a problem with, but for some reason REFMAC does. Molecular re

Hi all, Just as an aside, I have had this happen in the past using both Refmac and Pheinix.refine. Just happened last week when I was adding a residue to the end of chain. If the TER card is not present then and residues after it with the same chain ID are treated as ligands. Len Leonard M

Dear Joanna, There might be an unnecessary TER card in your PDB file between residues 430 and 431 of chain A. Could you check that? The log file suggests that residues after 430 are being recognised as a non-polymer part. Best regards, Keitaro On Mon, 3 Feb 2025 at 20:12, Joanna Zukowska <000100
