First of all, make sure you have real-space refinement turned off; this may
be moving the DNA too aggressively. Second, it sounds like the
base-pairing restraints may not be working correctly. If you send me the
model (off-list!) I can take a look and see if there is a bug. The other
option is to restrain the coordinates to the starting structure - I think
the reference model restraints would be best but I'm not entirely sure if
they work for DNA. (If not, you can use harmonic restraints, but these are
less flexible.)
