I wanted to check to see what the proper way to include a chiral center definition to the .cif file.

I have a ligand that is covalently attached to a cys side chain and I wanted to adjust the chirality of the atom of the ligand attached to the Cys sulfur but I only have the .cif file for the ligand molecule and not sure how to add the protein Cys residue S atom to the chiral center definitions so that REFMAC can properly read the file. Any suggestions or directions would be appreciated.


You should first follow the standard protocol to make a link using CCP4i2 or Coot. If that doesn't do what you want to do then we can continue.


As a matter of interest, is a chiral centre being introduced by the formation of the link (e.g. Michael addition) or is a neighboring atom being substituted by the SG? The former is a more tricky case.
