Hi Stefanie, Why can you only use "taken" three letter codes? In the "output monomer" box, you should be able to enter whatever you'd like for the "Three letter code for output monomer". In the attached image, this is shown as "DRG" but can be changed to any 3 letter code of your choice.

This is why I said this is somewhat subjective. I would agree I/sigI of 0.6+ and cc1/2 of 0.5+ in high res shell is fine but these values are overall, as the resolution range is 23-2.6 angstroms. On Thu, Nov 2, 2023 at 12:16 PM Eleanor Dodson < 176a9d5ebad7-dmarc-requ...@jiscmail.ac.uk>

I have a cysteine residue that is oxidized and needs to be modeled as CSO. In the past, when "replace residue" was used to substitute for CSO, the CSO would "behave" during real-space refinement and essentially take the place of the Cys. However, when Cys is replaced by CSO now the CSO is behaving
