Hi Pascal,

it's not automated yet, but you can do it manually. In phenix.refine you 
can define "custom bonds" and "custom angles". So in your case you can 
just define such kind of pseudo-bonds between atom pairs that stabilize 
the secondary structure.

Look the manual for more informations:

Please let me know if you have any questions!
Pavel.
