I presume you have a dictionary for both SAM and SAH? You need SAM at least to use COOT. My method is to calculate a difference map with the SAM density - xclude all atoms like SAH or waters which might overlap SAM, then manually grad the SAM to the right place and run real space refinement

Hi Yuan, LSQ within Coot works quite well for superimposing similar ligands. Are you sure you are selecting the appropriate chain IDs and residue numbers in the LSQ dialog box? It is a rigid body superposition though so it will only get you in the neighborhood (i.e. the adenine and sugar ring
