[phenixbb] Automated estimation of voxel size using reference pixel size in phenix?

[Oliver Clarke]

Oh wonderful, that is exactly what I was looking for, I will test it now! Thanks Randy!

Cheers
Oli

At the moment, this has to be done as part of a docking search, but I’m planning to implement a rigid-body refinement option for previously-placed models, which might be useful in some circumstances.
