Dear Paul,

I had a strange issue today when refining a structure with latest coot (0.9.9.91) from CCP4.

Two cysteines with Calpha-Calpha  distance of about 6 A do not form a disulfide bond, but coot wants to enforce a disulfide, although no disufide is defined in the pdb.

Does coot now automatically assume disulfides for Cys closer than a certain distance?

Yes. Although I now believe that the linking code in Coot needs to be completely reworked.  When I started on this code, it was a sensible idea not to trust the links and SSBONDS in the coordinates file, so Coot worked them out itself. Today that is the wrong approach.



If yes, I guess there is a parameter that one can set?


Sadly no.


I do believe though that a recent fix will solve the problem.

I need to find some time to make a release. I'll try to do that next week.

The relevant commit is 7e2518b1452f18d011db43b57210bce71cfa41e5 if you want to apply it yourself.

Paul.
