Hi all,

This is a long shot. But I am having problems fitting a model to a cryoEM map 
with bond modifications completed in pymol and I am hoping someone can help.

I downloaded a structure from the PDB database, and I am adding two bonds 
between nucleotides. However, these bonds do not appear to save correctly to 
mmCIF or PDB, often being lost as they do not show up in ChimeraX. When trying 
to open these files again in pymol, I can see random things like a hydrogen 
with two bonds in place of the new bond I made. The modifications appear to 
save okay to mol2, but phenix refuses to use the file afterwards anyway.

I feel like I am missing a step because phenix asks for restraints and when I 
try to run elbow, it just crashes with the PDB and mmCIF files. The Mol2 file 
does not load in phenix and just crashes phenix. I have gotten the mol2 file to 
open in chimeraX and then save as pdb afterwards. I did generate restraints for 
this file, but it completed this without the actual modifications I made so was 
pointless.

So, I am kind of stumped right now. Has anyone had any experience with creating 
new bonds in PDB files and saving them for use with fitting to cryoEM maps and 
refinement?

Thanks,
