Hi Gregers,

you can define bonds and angles for any selected atoms as described in 
"Definition of custom bonds and angles" section of phenix.refine 
documentation:

The work on this option is in progress (Jeff - is it available ?).

phenix.refine has secondary structure restraints option that may be 
useful if you are refining at low resolution.
