I think coot might be asking for the name as defined in the monomer library.

Yes.

You can find that in
<coot directory>/share/coot/lib/data/monomers/mon_lib.list
<coot directory>/share/coot/lib/data/monomers/mon_lib.html

These are basically identical to refmac's mon_lib.

The monomer library distributed with Coot *is* the Refmac library.

There are a LOT of monomers in there, so paging through every monomer one at a time will take forever. Instead, as you say, I would use your knowledge of things like crystallization condition, protein cofactors, etc. to make a shorter list of candidates and then examine those carefully.

Sketcher can search the monomer library. Coot will do so soon too.

Coot will attempt to fit every ligand that you provide into every "blob" - it provides the best fit for each "blob". You will have to provide a molecule/coordinates for each potential ligand (you can do this using libcheck, as you
have discovered).
