[phenixbb] About Restrain Files for ligands

Hello,
Naively, Perhaps the issue is that the molecule  used to generate the .cif
restraints does not have the hydrogens in the right place/ right
hybridization?
My suggestion would be to check it i.e. with Avogadro or any other chemical
structure editor.

Cheers
Maxime
