In the GUI Phenix refine "Refinement Settings", in the configuration process do not click "Automatically correct N/Q/H errors", then HIS side chain will not flip in the refinement.

Hi all,

 

We are trying to optimise a histidine interaction where NE2 would ideally make a hydrogen bond with an adjacent tyrosine hydroxyl. The starting point contains the hydrogen bond. However upon refinement the ring flips (chi2 x 180 degrees) to place the CE1 adjacent to the tyrosine hydroxyl.

 

Is it possible to stop this as I see no reason why phenix.refine would want to do this

 

Regards

 

Joel
