Hi all,
Thank you guys so much for the useful suggestions. I could fit the ligand
to electron density by doing the following:
1. Run Phenix. eLBOW by loading the smile string and generate the pdb file
and cif file.
2. Import CIF dictionary and open pdb for the ligand generated in
Phenix.eLBOW and pdb for the protein plus the mtz file onto Coot.
3. Now, in coot, I could move the ligand to fit the density by 'real space
refine zone'.
Thank you so much!

Best,
Wei
