Just tried the phenix.reduce as Paul suggested.  I used "phenix.reduce -build -flips old.pdb > new.pdb" to generate all the H atoms.  Then I fed the new.pdb to phenix.refine with "remove_hydrogens=False". The refinement included individual_sites+individual_adp+tls.  I compared the results from with/without H atoms.  Without H atoms: R=0.2369, Rfree=0.2876; with H atoms: R=0.2363, Rfree=0.2911.  I didn't see much improvement here.  Did I miss something?  Of course, I understand this is still at the early stage of development.

Hi Jianghai,

   if you obtain the latest CCI Apps you will see that there is a new 
program, phenix.reduce. This is the reduce program from the Richardsons 
Lab at Duke. This is very experimental at the moment, but I believe you 
should be able to add hydrogens to your structure using phenix.reduce 
and then read that into phenix.refine. I know that Pavel has only 
started work on this recently so I can't promise it will work as 
expected, but he has run some initial tests that look promising (1-2% 
drop in R-free after adding hydrogens).

   Cheers,
Paul

Hi All,

I just found a refinement.hydrogens entry in the phenix.refine.  Can we 
use phenix.refine to generate riding hydrogens to help the geometry in 
low- or mid-resolution refinement now?  Using hydrogens in refmac5 
really gives a better result than not using hydrogens. 

Another question.  Is there a way to blur the experimental or density 
modified phases when using mlhl target?

Thanks.
