[phenixbb] how to fix a secondary structure?

Hi Xinghua,
you can use secondary structure restrains that are available in
phenix.refine. It will automatically figure out secondary structure and
apply proper restrains. This should preserve your helix geometry and
still refine it.
Example:
phenix.refine model.pdb data.mtz main.secondary_structure_restraints=true

If you still prefer not refining that helix over applying
secondary-structure restrains, then you can do that too:
phenix.refine model.pdb data.mtz refine.sites.individual="not (chain A
and resseq 123:156)"
where atom selection
chain A and resseq 123:156
selects your helix, and prefix "not" means you exclude it from refinement.
Of course you can do all this from PHENIX GUI.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Pavel.
