Dear all,
I'm am trying to refine an isopeptide link in diubiquitin between a  
Lys side chain and a Gly 76 C-termini.  The link has reasonable  
geometry (planar amide bond) prior to refinement with refmac  
5.2.0019.  After refinement, the peptide link is no longer planar.   
Any ideas how to enforce planarity of the link?

Many thanks for any suggestions--
Sarah
