Hello, I wonder if this feature was changed in the recent versions of Coot? Is it possible to refine phosphate, sugar and base separately?
I am using Coot and wincoot 0.33 and apparently none of them allows this. Thanks in advance for your replies.

I am not convinced that that is a good idea. You can of course do mutations and move around the individual atoms as you can with any other residue type. You can trivially change from C3'-endo to C2'-endo puckering by pulling on the appropriate atom during regularization (or refinement). Paul.
