Hello all,

I have been having major issues with CNS that I havent been able to figure out.
My protein has 2 molecules in the asu, ds DNA, ions, and a ligand. I have been
using refmac for refinement but need to make a composite omit map so that I can
check things out in CNS.

here is the problem

every time I run generate.inp I get errors like this in the logfile

COOR>HETATM 3389  NA   NA E   1      -4.719   7.010  17.729  1.00 33.51

                   ^^^^^^^^
 %PARSER error encountered: Encountered too many parsing errors.
   (CNS is in mode: SET ABORT=NORMal END)

I have changed all of my files so that CNS will like them. (outputs from coot
are not liked by cns) I changed the dna using fix_dna_rna indna > outdna. and
manually changed the c5m for thymine to c5a for cns. Also made sure the sugar
ring atoms had (') and not (*). I also changed the CD1 ILE to CD  ILE because
CNS hates CD1 ILE for some reason. One of my ligands is funny so I downloaded
the topology and parameter files from HIcCup and put them in the necessary
sections in generate.inp. I have run this before when refining a similar data
set with not as many issues, but I really would like to know what this means.

thanks all
