Dear community, I am still stuck with my (probably) basic FLEV issue below, could someone be of help ? Thanks again for your time. All the best /Xavier

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. *** Thanks a lot Paul for the quick reply, Just in case I validate FLEV was working properly using the 1a4m structure (loaded as a .cif file from the PDB). Indeed once I hydrogenate the region, I see all the h-bonds. Now I've tried to do that on my own files ... still can't get it to work * From buster refine > Pdb file containing ligand > import cif dictionnaries (include hydrogens) > hydrogenate region > no Hbonds appear. * From buster refine > model.cif file containing ligand > import cif dictionnaries (include hydrogens) > hydrogenate region > no Hbonds appear Interestingly on the 1a4m I don't need to load restraints (which is normal with the mmcif format), but on the mmcif format generated by buster I still have to load restraint separately to toggle FLEV. "From BUSTER The two relevant files for deposition of BUSTER refinement results are * BUSTER_model.cif: This file contains the atomic model as well as any non-standard restraint information (e.g. for a unique ligand or compound). * It also contains the refinement statistics (R values, number of reflections used etc). » Can it be a formatting issue ?

I'm having trouble with 2 things : * Showing hydrogen bonds with the surrounding residues : the ones shown with the Environement distance do not pop in the FELV view * Showing the water molecules (weither they have the same chain ID as the ligand/protein or not) I "Toggle FLEV interactions for this residues" then "FLEV this residues". I have the same issue with Coot1.14 (I've asked to have the latest version installed). The documentation for FLEV is not very good. 1: you need to add hydrogen atoms to the model for Coot to find hydrogen bonds 2: the was a bug in previous versions where some hydrogen bonds might have been missed (thanks to Lan Guan for bringing this to my attention). This was fixed in 1.1.20. I've tried to make the distribution of Coot so that you don't need to be admin to install it.
