Hi all, Just to mention a side-comment relevent to Prasenjit's question: Considering the prevalence of synchrotron-radiation-damaged disulfides, well documented in the literature, it seems that all disulfides in proteins whose data were collected at synchrotron sources should be modeled with tw

It seems odd from energetic considerations that there would be a free-form amino acid when it "has a choice" to be involved in energetically favorable interaction. It sounds doubly odd in the case of a cystein involved in a disulfide bond. Could it be that you are observing the effects of radiation

The SSBOND record does not allow the specification of an "alternate location indicator". The PDB practice is to list the SSBOND record if any confirmation is in an SS-bond. I think that refmac has problems with this since it will try to apply the SSBOND patch to both confirmations. The workar
