Hi Helena,

I'm not sure if this is the same issue, but I've run into a problem where there is a mismatch between atom names and restraints files where some programs use 'primes' and others use asterisks (I assume this is part of ongoing standardization?). The ribose ring goofs it up. Keeping the restraints and coordinates from the same program (I have been using GRADE) through all refinement has kept this from being an issue anymore for me. You just need to load your own .cif file when you open the coordinates as well.

My ligand is just a common NADP and the atom names at the PDB file match the atom names at the cif file, but for some reason I am not able to do any real space refinement ect. at coot for it since the coot fails to match (to the dictionary) the following model atom names and it would cause exploding atoms. I have tried to change my NADP to different molecules downloaded form PDB or just searching with the three letter code from the dictionary of coot, but having trouble with any molecule used. There’s also this persistent clash in the middle of the NADP molecule on both sides of the phosphorous next to the ribose ring.

Helena,

Shane is completely correct. You have almost certainly hit
a problem that your PDB file is using old v2 atom names whereas
you recent coot/ccp4 is using the "new" (5 years ago?) atom names.

I am unconvinced. Helena says that her Coot is recent and therefore the dictionary against which Helena compared the atoms is recent too. There haven't been asterisks in Coot for (as you say) about 5 years.

Helena, please try this:

File -> Get Monomer -> NAP
then
Regularize Zone on the imported NAP.

It should just work.

For the refinement to work on your NAP the atom names should match both the dictionary and the imported NAP.

p.s. you could try a grade dictionary from http://grade.globalphasing.org/
(thanks Shane) but I shouldn't abuse the coot list :-;

Grade-chat not unwelcome here :-)

Paul.
