Many thanks for explaining where it is going awry. Looking at GLU.cif in the monomer library that is part of the CCP4 distribution, it contains the following lines:
GLN chi1 N CA CB CG 180.000 15.000 3 GLN chi2 CA CB CG CD 180.000 15.000 3 GLN chi3 CB CG CD OE1 0.000 30.000 2 In the monomer library you link, it has: GLU chi1 N CA CB CG 180.000 15.000 3 GLU chi2 CA CB CG CD 180.000 15.000 3 GLU chi3 CB CG CD OE2 0.000 30.000 2 Which makes more sense.
