My first guess would be partial occupancy of the NAD+, i.e. it's not
present in every unit copy of your protein in the crystal. One thing
you can try to do is set all the B=20.0 or so in the NAD+ and do
a group occupancy refinement (feel free to ask me on how to do this
if you have trouble).
As for the problems with positional refinement.... I dunno. If you
are keeping the protein fixed while refining the NAD+, maybe that's
now allowing the protein to be tweaked to accomodate the cofactor,
If that is not the case, I don't know.
As an experiment, try using the old atom names. You can always rename
stuff every cycle before entering O, although that is a pain.
