Azat, Am I going about this the wrong way? As I understand it, if I were to include AMP (for instance) as a BLK residue then its chemical information is not used in the homology modelling process --- it is only treated as a rigid body with particular side-chain contacts. But I expect some of these contacts to change and I didn't think that BLK residues would have enough information to allow the homology modelling process to intelligently alter side-chain contacts.
If I am wrong on this, what does one gain by defining new "residues" in the way that I was planning to do it?
Thanks, Christian
