Hi Stephen,
 
(1) Is it possible to add RNA base-pair restraints into Phenix
Real-space-refinement of a lowish resolution cryoEM structure?

If so how?
They are turned on by default, so you don't have to do anything. 
They are controlled by "Use secondary structure restraints" flag in GUI or secondary_structure.enabled=True in command-line - the same as for protein secondary structure.

Best regards,
Oleg Sobolev.
 

(2) We are also lucky enough to have some impressively high resolution
cryoEM maps (2.4 A average) which show among other things hundreds of
water molecules.

I was wondering whether Phenix Real-space-refinement was really adapted
to high resolution, e.g. it uses grouped B-factor refinement and has no
water handling options

(putting them in manually is a pain and you always miss some). How have
other people dealt with these issues ?

thanks for any help


Stephen Cusack
