Dear All,
I have a question regarding refinement of a crystal structure with intermolecular disulfide bond. There is one monomer in an asymmetric unit. The biological assembly for the molecule is a disulfide bond linked dimer. And the disulfide bond is on a 2-fold crystallographic symmetry. During refinement using refmac, how do I tell the program to keep the disulfide bond? Currently two S atoms are pushing away from each other after refmac refinement. Thanks!

Dear Jiyuan Ke,
the SSBOND
(http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/html/refmac5/files/coordinates.html#pdb_ssbond)
does allow symmetry related molecules, so it seems that is the header
entry you are looking for.
