[phenixbb] rotamer outlier reduction by coot

Hi Dialing,

I agree with Nat, you probably have incompatible hydrogen names, which
is what causes the hydrogens to "explode".

I'm not sure what you mean by oxygens packing together. Do you mean
that there are oxygen atoms that are too close together?

It's difficult to know for sure what the problems are without seeing
the files first hand. If you send me your starting PDB file, and the
file that you saved out of Coot, I will have a look. Please send them
directly to my email address, NOT to the list.

Jeff
