Hi Nicolas,

   I would be interested in understanding more the exact meaning of the options related to "reference model" when doing "real space refinement" (in https://phenix-online.org/documentation/reference/real_space_refine.html):

Given that reference model restraints are dihedral restraints derived from reference model and applied to refined model: 

  • hydrogens = False
Include dihedrals that include hydrogen atoms
  • main_chain = True
Include dihedrals formed by main chain atoms
  • side_chain = True
Include dihedrals formed by side chain atoms
  • fix_outliers = True
Try to fix rotamer outliers in refined model
  • strict_rotamer_matching = False 
Make sure that rotamers in refinement model matches those in reference model even when they are not outliers
  • auto_shutoff_for_ncs = False
Do not apply to parts of structure covered by NCS restraints
  • secondary_structure_only = False 
Only apply reference model restraints to secondary structure elements (helices and sheets)

It is a bit unclear what setting each of them to "True" would exactly imply or what the difference between them are. Does anyone have more information?

In the majority of cases default parameters should be good.
 
The paper on this is:

Please let us know if you have more questions.

Thanks,

Best,
