Hi all,

Thanks for your help! It was the freaking asterisks. So even though my cif and 
PDB-file matched, coot was not able to understand my NADP with the asterisks.  
Not even when I tried to change the molecule for a dictionary one, since coot 
was connected to phenix where I still had the old cif.
