[phenixbb] Ensemble refinement

[Tristan Croll]

If I understand correctly, since ensemble refinement is a dynamics-based method your starting structure needs to be effectively "perfect" (i.e. a true representation of one of the conformations that makes up the real-world ensemble). Any error in your assignment that's separated from the true structure by a large enough energy barrier will throw it right out.

With that in mind, I wouldn't throw out the ensemble refinement results immediately. Why not have a closer look and see what's moved substantially? There may be some clues in there for you.

Cheers,

Tristan

The clashscore in both settings (pTLS=0.6 and 1) are 0.
