Thanks for the reply, but no luck. It seems the backbone can be refined
using cartoon_refine, but there is a limit to how far. Unfortunately in
some cases the carbonyl (and the nitrogen as well) misses be a lot when
the area of interest is zoomed in on. I guess I just have to play with
the camera angle to make it look like the sticks are attached.

Cheers,
James
