Dear Stefanie, We routinely use DRG or LIG or numbers in running refmac and do not see the issue. Maybe check if .cif and .pdb file has the same code for the compound and also, if the issue is not coming from other molecule in the structure?
Another option would to be try a different computer to make sure that it is not related to your ccp4 installation. Best regards Cyprian Cyprian Cukier, Ph.D. Head of Structural Biology Selvita S.A.

Please do not click on links or open attachments from senders you do not trust. Refmac by itself should not care about duplicated residue names in the monomer library. It takes the last monomer. There should be something on the interface preventing this. Longer than three letters should be available from the next release of ccp4. New acedrg and Refmacat should be able to deal with them. Ccp4i2 might not be ready.

Unfortunately, nothing helped. Whatever 3-letter code I choose Refmac is complaining that there is a clash with an already existing ligand (even DRG, LIG, numbers) and AceDRG in CCP4i2 insists on 3 letters. I am not quite sure how to bypass this issue as I think Refmac is also insisting on 3-letters for ligands (???) I have not tried Grade yet. Any advise much appreciated.

Is there any way around this? How do I add a novel ligand? Thanks so much for your help.
