Dear Stephen,

The current monomer library is, for the most part, generated
by running AceDRG - for non-metal containing entries at least.

AceDRG [1,2] derives atom types using the cif files in the
Crystallography Open Database [3], not the CSD.

You can see which version of Acedrg has been using by examing the
_pdbx_chem_comp_description_generator block in the cif file.

Dear CCPBB,

 I have a question regarding the origin of the monomer libraries in
CCP4.  I ask because I have quoted the bond length listed in the
monomer library describing peroxide in a manuscript and a referee has
asked for a reference since they seem to disagree with the quoted
value of ~1.48 A. My understanding is that parameters describing bond
length, angles etc are derived from structures in the CSD is this the
case?  Is there an appropriate reference out there somewhere?

 Thanks very much in advance,
 Steve
