Dear Phenix users,

I want to exclude particular regions of a protein model, docked into a cryo-EM map, from real-space refinement. I know this is possible for refinement in reciprocal space, but is this possible for refining a cryo-EM structure against a map? E.g. I want to totally exclude a region with known crystal structure, placed in an area of poor local resolution, from any form of refinement, but want to apply all other options (morphing, simulated annealing, adp, Global minimization) to the remainder of the structure. 

(I didn't see this option in  https://www.phenix-online.org/documentation/reference/real_space_refine.html )

best regards,

Filip
