Dear Bernhard

When we convert from PDB to mmCIF we do indeed ignore LINKR records as these are also present between unmodelled residues in the PDB file (or were when we tested).

However, if you output an mmCIF file directly from refmac then the link records are correctly written out into _struct_conn records (mmCIF equivalent of LINK records) which are correctly handled by the deposition system.

To do this simply add the keyword "pdbout format mmcif" to your refmac commands and it will output an mmCIF file ready for deposition.

I hope this helps

Dear Developers,

the TER issue in REFMAC seems to be fixed, but is really necessary that REFMAC places LINKR

records instead of LINK records in the PDB header?

The PDB does not recognize those, and although it’s only a minor nuisance to fix them in an editor,

one tends to forget this between revisions…or the PDB could simply ignore the ‘R’….

Best, BR
