The best why that I have put inhibitors in is by using the sketcher program
in CCP4. Its a little unwieldy at first but if you get the hang of it, it
provides pdb's and library files that can be directly inputed into refmac
and Coot. The Coot ligand find function does a pretty good job of initially
placing inhibitors in density.

The only thing to be careful of is that sketcher tends to label hydrogens in
a problematic way for large ligands. It labels the hydrogen based on the
carbon number that it is attached too. Problems tend to occur if the
hydrogens get three digit labels. Refmac won't necessarily recognize these
causing problems with the cif file. If this problem occurs re-label the
hydrogens to two digit numbers. Unless your using a ligand that requires
more than 100 hydrogens. Then you will have to build it a different way.
