[phenixbb] Trouble with occupancy refinement

perhaps they are fully occupied but highly mobile which explains weak 
density? Or B-factor refines to larger value so that occupancy tries to 
compensate? How maps look like after refinement?

Do you mean is it unusual to have 5 atoms in your structure with 
occupancies between 0 and 1? Hm.. I don't know, may be not! I think I'm 
not understanding what's the real question here..
