Hi John

As Pavel already mentioned, the problem with the ligand covalently bonded
to a standard residue is that the bond is likely to change the geometry of
the residue for atoms that are completely part of the residue, not just the
atoms involved in the link.  In that case one would still need to give the
(no longer) standard residue a different name (I use something like 'A01',
'A02' etc.) and copy most of the geometry from the standard entry, changing
those near the covalent link as needed.  Then obviously one must also
describe the peptide links made by A01.

Cheers
