Hello Kelvin.

Here we go at last...


With Coot 0.9.8.94 EL or Coot 1.1.08, I am wondering if this is a known issue 
or not.

I have generated ligand restraints with the GRADE2 server. I named it RU4SE

With no issues I can import the CIF and generate my ligand using this file 
within Coot using Get Monomer, even though its a 5-letter code.
So far so good - that is the expected behaviour.

However, when I refine in phenix, I noticed it says my ligand within the PDB is 
now called RU4.
Yes. Writing a 5-letter ligand to a PDB  file will truncate the name to 3-chars.

I double checked within Coot and the imported ligand is RU4SE. However the 
moment I save, it becomes RU4


Is this a known issue? Easy solution?

It is indeed a know issue and the solution (from your point of view) is to use mmCIF as the output format for your molecule.

From my point of view, actually getting Coot is write a modern mmCIF file is tricky (somewhere between a week and 10 months work). You can of course use the current mmCIF output style but that is long in the tooth and not well tested.
