[ccp4bb]: Ion metals in pdb file



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
