So one option is to locate that CONECT record and delete it. The other is to use the Metal Coordination tool to clean up the coordination of that iron. First, it is highly unlikely that the histidine nitrogens coordinating the iron are protonated, so you should select those hydrogens and “del sel” to get rid of them. Then if you bring up the metal coordination tool for the iron it will properly show the nitrogens as coordinating. If you already had the tool up when you deleted the hydrogens then you will have to force the tool to consider the newly deprotonated nitrogens by selecting them and clicking the “Add atoms selected in the graphics window" button. You can now remove the spurious coordination you noted above by first clicking the last atom in the coordination table (HIS 25.A NE2) and then clicking the “Create/Update metal-complex pseudobonds” button.</div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I hope this helps.
