I have a rebuilding problem of a NAD molecule using coot. The NAD molecule was fetched using the load monomer command in coot and the restraints cif file was also in the library. However the program complains about "Fails to match model atom names NN7 and NN1" and thus it is not possible to do real space refinement.

I guess it is a naming issue. Any advice how to get around it? The coordinates are possible to refine using Refmac so it
seems to be more coot related than general.


Hello Maria,

Yes, you are right, it's a naming issue.

This is a frequently asked question that I have not yet added to the FAQ. Basically, you have to quote the NN1 and NN7 in the dictionary (i.e. NN1 becomes 'NN1 ' (IIRC) and similarly for NN7). You can read more by searching the mailing list archive.

I have not added work-arounds into Coot because 1) I do not believe that the should live there 2) the NAD (etc.) problems will go away when we move to PDB v3 format.

Regards,
