[phenixbb] Restraining to existing model

I guess that you could do it the with the tools that are available,
but would require some scripting to get it going, and will be
relatively slow and possibly not recommended.

phenix.refine allows the possibility to add distance restraints
between any atom specified:

http://www.phenix-online.org/documentation/refinement.htm#anch281

what you could do, is take the high resolution structure you have,
find all 1-4 distances that you think should (not around the active
site) be invariant (this is the scripting bit) and write them out as a
custom bond with an appropriate sigma and feed this into
phenix.refine. This scheme is similar to the NCS restraints in shelx i
belive.

Again, this is possible, but not sure if recommended.
There are probably other (possibly better) ways of doing it as well.
