Dear all,

I found that thread in my search of what ideal values for metal Phenix is 
using. I tried to use that command "phenix.pdb_interpretation model.pdb 
write_geo_files=true" for my pdb file, and I get all the values for most atoms, 
like:

>>bond pdb=" CB  LEU B 332 " segid="B   "
     pdb=" CG  LEU B 332 " segid="B   "
  ideal  model  delta    sigma   weight residual
  1.530  1.511  0.019 2.00e-02 2.50e+03 9.40e-01
>> 

but for Mg ions i did not find the ideal value:
>>
nonbonded pdb=" O   HOH C 405 "
          pdb="MG    MG M   1 "
   model   vdw
   1.906 3.250
>>

Can I specify some keywords to get it also for Mg?

I looked through phenix folders and I found energy_lib.cif file. There are the 
following records for Mg:

 MG   NPA  metal     500.000    2.090      .
 MG   NPB  metal     500.000    2.090      .
 MG   OHA  metal     500.000    2.150      .  # ?
 MG   OHB  metal     500.000    2.150      .  # ?
 MG   OHC  metal     500.000    2.150      .  # ?
 MG   O    metal     500.000    2.180      .  # ?

Do I understand correctly, that these are actually the default values? If I use 
Phenix with default parameters, then distances will tend to become ideal? 
Especially at low resolution when X-ray weight is low?
And what does mean, that for Mg there is no standard deviation of the bonds (.  
# ? is placed instead)? How phenix will handle it? will it assign some default 
esd?

I appreciate any comments! Thanks a lot!!
