[ccp4bb] Monomer_lib_cif from PDB (Sketcher)

2011-08-10 Thread Dr. STEPHEN SIN-YIN, CHUI
Dear CCP4 users,

I just wonder if this problem can be solved using Sketcher.
When i use Sketcher (PC or linux) in the CCP4 GUI to generate the
monomer_lib.cif of a ligand (V3OAc.pdb) obtained from CCDC, the geometry of
this
ligand change (see V3Oand the attached files are used. Any comment is highly
appreciated.

Hello Stephen,

You just need to minimize the ligand (V30_libcheck.pdb). My
understanding is that that is what typically happens for you when using
Sketcher. Without the log files and/or button-press-tracking it is hard
to know why this hasn't happened already.

So just feed it into Refmac or your favourite other minimizer and it
will turn out much closer to how you expect (I expect).

(As an aside, I believe that the CCDC take a dim view of distributing
work derived from their database.)

Paul.
