[phenixbb] Fix rotamers

[Jeff Headd]

Hi Jason,

Yes, you are on the right track.  For each sidechain that is
corrected, the method rotates each torsion angle moving out from the
backbone looking for the best real-space fit to the density.  Once the
sidechain has been fit, there is real-space refinement.  The maps are
updated throughout to allow for the best possible map for each
correction.

Perhaps Pavel will chime in with any other details that I'm forgetting.

Thanks,
Jeff
