<div class="">Dear Ashley,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">we have also run across the same problem with planarity, and at higher resolutions. The only workaround we found (actually suggested to me by a colleague) was to raise the overall weight of planarity restraints, by adding:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">GeometryWeight_plane=20.0<br class="">
<div class=""><br class="webkit-block-placeholder">
</div>
<div class="">As in Ashley’s case we originally noticed that with some ligands (e.g. uridine ring in UTP), but the issue does not seem to be restricted to ligands with externally provided dictionaries, as we have sometimes seen aromatic side chains also refining
slightly out of plane, most likely as an effect of anti-bumping restraints. Indeed, in the few tests I made on parallel refinements with or without the instruction above I’ve seen that applying such a higher weight to planarity worsens Molprobity clash scores,
although not dramatically.</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Is there a better way to deal with this, or possibly strengthen this kind of restraints for a particular ligand instead of the whole model (e.g. Gelly instructions)?</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thanks in advance,</div>
<div class="">Bests</div>

Hi,<o:p class=""></o:p></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">
Does anyone have any tips to force buster to maintain planarity when refining ligands. I am refining a UDP-GlcNAc (UD1) and the N1 of the uracyl base is refining out of plane. Using the bigplanes option when generating the cif helps a lot but the N atom is
approx. 0.1A out of the plane (compared to ideal or refmac refined). N1 is in same plane as aromatic ring but not with C1 of ribose. How to I increase weighting towards geometry for ligand – perhaps adding something to gelly file to modify overall weight?<o:p class=""></o:p></div>

FWIW the cif file used was generated by grade from the PDB ligand entry. The cif file itself is fine as using to refine in coot or refmac results in maintenance of planarity.<o:p class=""></o:p></div>
