Thanks for all the quick replies! The problem turned
out to be that the Turbo output pdb file of my ligand
(created by using the MAKE command) somehow failed to
label all my carbon atoms as "C". Instead, all my
carbons were labelled with just the number. For
example, C12 was mislabelled as 12. After I put "C"s
back to where they should be, everything went ok.
Now, after several refinement runs, the ligand is
sitting very comfortably in the density:D. Thanks for
all the timely help! Have a great one!
Regards,
Xiaofei
