In your run with the option "residues are close only" refmac also should generate a pdb file with link records added. In very simple form you can edit this pdb file and remove all unnecessary links and leave link you want. Then you can rerun with normal options and generated library. Better option is to create links carefully with bond, anlges, chrialities etc. It can be done (I am repeating myself) using JLigand from:

http://www.ysbl.york.ac.uk/mxstat/JLigand/1.html

the second tutorial in this site is how can create and use covalent links (hopefully at some point it will be done via coot).

If any question or problem please let me know and I will try to sort it out.

Dear Dr. Murshudov,

I am working on the heme protein with a surface Cys residue covalenlty linked to another molecule through its SG atom.

Here is a part of log file.
------------------
INFO: link is found (not be used) dist= 2.188 ideal_dist= 2.300 ch:AA res: 400 CYS at:SG .->ch:Aa res: 500 HEM at:FE .

INFO: link is found (not be used) dist= 2.398 ideal_dist= 1.610 ch:BB res: 97 CYS at:SG .->ch:Bb res: 501 R7A at:C49 .
-------------------
How can I turn on only the third link? I am using the refmac5.5.0102 on ccp4i.

If I choose the link option "residues are close only" for non- standard monomers (under "setup geometric restraints" menu), I see the following messages but the refinement stops.

If you are happy with the library description then use the keyword (MAKE CHECK NONE)
I.e. do not check correctness of the coordinates
===> Error: New ligand has been encountered. Stopping now
Refmac_5.5.0102:  New ligand has been encountered. Stopping now
------------------

I will appreciate solutions.
