Thanks, Pengfei!

I now successfully modify the sidechain.bcl file for my system but new questions come that:

  The metal Calcium in my protein's active site links with .O.. atom which is not on sidechain

so, The sidechain.bcl is that:

# Create bonds with Calcium
createBond /NAME/CLR/CA1/C0.. /NAME/CLR/AN1/.OD1
createBond /NAME/CLR/CA1/C0.. /NAME/CLR/VA1/.O.. (VA1=VAL)
createBond /NAME/CLR/CA1/C0.. /NAME/CLR/TR1/.O.. (TR1=TRP)

that first line OD1 has no problem, but the last two containg .O.. atom in backbone. I check the bcl.log file, it says:

### ### ### ###
 ### MTK++ Info ###
 ### Function: selection::parse ###
 ### Message: selection string = /2xjp/CLR/VA1/.O..
 ### ### ### ###

 ### ### ### ###
 ### MTK++ Error ###
 ### Function: selection::parse ###
 ### Message: /col/mol/smol/atom selection error (7) ... exiting
 ### ### ### ###

 ### ### ### ###
 ### MTK++ Error ###
 ### Function: MCPB::createBond ###
 ### Message: Error in selection parsing ... exiting
 ### ### ### ###

It seems that sidechain.bcl only pocess metal interacts with sidechain??? Not atom in backbone??


Thanks for your kind help!
