Dear CCP4ers,

I try to refine a protein structure with a Mg2+ bound. In the REFMAC5.2
dictionary, I only found a neutral Mg and several (strange) entries of
different water-coordinated Mg2+ with some predefined water naming that
I don't want to use. I would just like to refine a Mg2+ with whatever
oxygen ligands around. In my coordinate file, the residue and atom names
are "MG ", and REFMAC really takes this as a neutral Mg, because when I
add the formfactors Sum_i(a_i)+c, I get 12 electrons, which is not what
I want. How can I refine Mg2+ (or any other ion) with REFMAC?

Best regards,

Dirk.
