Dear all,

I am going litteraly mad (or just old).

I would like to make a covalent link between a carbohydrate moiety and and ASP of my well-cheered protein.

The identifier for the carbohydrate moiety is MAD, chain C, res number 1.

The link is established between C5 of MAD and OD2 of ASP 518, chain A.

In the mad_monlib.cif I added the following:

data_link_list
loop_
_chem_link.id
_chem_link.comp_id_1
_chem_link.mod_id_1
_chem_link.group_comp_1
_chem_link.comp_id_2
_chem_link.mod_id_2
_chem_link.group_comp_2
_chem_link.name
ASP-MAD  ASP      .        .        MAD      .        .
 bond_ASP-OD2_=_MAD-C5
#
data_link_ASP-MAD
#
loop_
_chem_link_bond.link_id
_chem_link_bond.atom_1_comp_id
_chem_link_bond.atom_id_1
_chem_link_bond.atom_2_comp_id
_chem_link_bond.atom_id_2
_chem_link_bond.type
_chem_link_bond.value_dist
_chem_link_bond.value_dist_esd
 ASP-MAD  1 OD2     2 C5        .           1.370    0.040

In the entry PDB file I added the line:

LINK        OD2  ASP A 518                C5  MAD C 1

The log file of REFMAC tells me

INFO:     link is found (not be used) dist=   1.370 ideal_dist= 1.370
            ch:AAA  res: 518  ASP              at:OD2 .->ch:CCC  res:   1  MAD              at:C5  .

And the expression "not be used" is certainly the case, as the distance of the covalent bond changes from 1.37 to 1.6 Å.

The data resolution is 1.8 Å.

If somebody could please point out what I am doing wrong, I'd be very grateful.

With best wishes,

Gerlind
