 Hi all, 
I am wondering if anyone could propose any solutions to my problem: I am using Refmac 4.0 and I am trying 
unsuccessfully  to insert ion metals 
( Calcium and Manganese) in my pdb file. 
The  input  file looks  as follows at this specific 
part: 
ATOM    2214   MN   IUM  
B    
240              
 29.813  11.768  45.332   1.00  
30.08                    
B  
ATOM    2215   CA    IUM  
B    
241               
26.948  11.566  48.495   1.00  20.07 
                   
B  
and in my protin input file as: 
VDWRADII  7   C     1 3.7  
N     2 3.1   O     3 3.0 
 S     4 3.6  CA     7 
3.8   MN     8 3.8  
OW0     10 3.0  
 I am running the program and in the output pdb file the ions 
disappear. 
Apparently, the program mixes CA's of the main chain with CA (Calcium 
ion) 
I would apreciate  if someone could offer any suggetions ( especially 
the exact procedure to introduce the ions into  
the pdb file ). 
Thank you in advance 
Kiki
