Hi Sozanne,
The rules for alt. confs. are such that a-a and b-b will always clash. Let
A,B chain labels, and a,b,c be altloc labels. You could assign A-a, A-b for
the two conformers in chain A, and B-a, B-c for the two conformers in chain
B. This way the second conformers will have no nonbonded interactions.
(The general rules are: blank-x interact, x-x interact, x-y do not
interact.)

I have the following problem: I have a homodimer of two protein chains A
and B, which I refine in Phenix, and one residue has 2 alternate
conformations (a and b) for each chain. If the residues of both chains A
and B are in the alternative conformation b, they clash. However, I would
expect that never both residues are in conformation b, and therefore only
the combinations aa, ab and ba of alternative conformations exist. My
problem is, that during the refinement, the two b conformations of the
residues clash, which drives the clash-score of the overall structure to a
very high value and repulsion pushes the two b-conformations apart during
refinement, therefore I cannot model them properly. Is it possible in
Phenix to define these two conformations as non-clashing and non-repulsive?
Thank you, best regards, Sozanne Solmaz.
