Hi Uma,

How different are your NADs optimised in Refmac and Coot? Are you sure you are 
using the same geometric restraints? Coot has to know where Refmac's restraint 
files are. This info is passed through an environment setting on your computer 
(I don't know the name by hart. Anyone?). Are you using Windows, Linux or OSX 
or something else?

You can try to find more details about geometric outliers by checking Refmac's 
log file. That way you may find which specific bond/angle is the problem.

Cheers,
Robbie

Dear All:
 
I use Refmac5 to refine my model. After the run, I check the model quality by 
Coot. 
 
Here is the problem:
 
In Coot, the ligand - NAD, has bad geometry as indicated by a big red bar. 
While the geometry of NAD fit nicely with the electron density. 
 
If I use refine tools (i.e. regularize Zone or real space refine zone), the 
geometry of NAD turns to perfec with bond, angle and so on. But the ligand 
slightly turn away from the electron density map.

 
If I run Refmac5 again with this modified model, the NAD turns back, fit nice 
to electron density, but gives red bar in coot geometry. 
 
The Refinment Parameters in Refmac5 is set @ "use automatic weight" and "use 
experinmental sigmals to weight X-ray terms".
 
Thank you for advice and comments
 
Ros
