Dear Yuan, maybe you only have four - and a high solvent content. Why don't you refine the four for a while with strict NCS, and then use that improved model of one of them to do the original search again (to satisfy yourself there are only four, or to find additional ones)? On the other hand

Yes. There is a confusion at the moment. REFMAC LINK or LINKR record require link record that is absent in the pdb. If primary structure (sequence of amino acids/RNA/DNA and closeness in 3d of sugars) allow linking then links between residues used automatically (TRANS/CIS/PTRANS/PCIS for pep

Hi, "The LINK records specify connectivity between residues *that is not implied by the primary structure*." (my emphasis). My reading of this is that it's the primary structure (i.e. the SEQRES records) that specify that the residues are contiguous, *not* the residue numbering. Perhaps someon

Hi Ian, I may be wrong here, in which case Jawahar will correct me. I understand that to mean that it's the *order* of residues that must be identical, not the residues themselves, i.e. it's valid for residues to be omitted from the co-ordinate section (but not of course from the SEQRES section
