-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear Remie,
there is a difference between the bonds you see in Coot and the bonds that are recognised by e.g. refmac5. Can you measure the bond length after refinement and compare it with the expected value? Does the bond length deviate from the target value? If not, your bond is probably recognised, i.e. restrained during refinement, although it is not displayed as such.
