Hi Cooters,

I have a pair of disulfide bonds which link two monomers in separate  
asymmetric units.  There is a single monomer in the asymmetric unit, and two 
monomers come together to form disulfides between Cys 26-Cys45, and 
Cys45-Cys26.  I'd like to use Coot to refine them, but every time I use the 
Real-Space Refine Zone command it sticks the S atom into the middle of the 
shared density, resulting in a S-S distance of half an angstrom.  As much as 
I'd love to say this enzyme is powered by nuclear fusion, I think a reviewer 
would disagree.  I have SSBOND lines in the PDB file for both bonds, and Refmac 
refines the bond lengths to an appropriate 2.03 angstroms.  Is there a way to 
make Coot respect these bonds?

Regards,
Mark
