Are you saying that your ligand can adopt two completely separate conformers, or that part of it moves around? Either way, you do want grouped refinement with the altloc, either on the whole or part of the ligand that is different. Altloc automatically performs group refinement. It doesn’t make physical sense to do otherwise, as you are essentially assigning a percent that the ligand is in the different conformers, rather than saying that part of the molecule is only there part of the time. <BR>

i have a ligand with multiple conformers. i gave each conformer a<BR>

that part out of the density. i have remove_selection for the parts that<BR>

tried starting with and without site or occupancy refinement, no help.<BR>
<BR>
i do not want group occupancy refinement b/c some parts do not overlap -<BR>
i.e. they "should" be occupancy 1.0 -- i tried it anyways with<BR>
constrained_group =... to check.<BR>
<BR>
is the chain label an improper way to do this?<BR>
