Hi Mark,

yes, group_occupancies is no longer there. By default, phenix.refine will refine occupancies of all atoms in alternative conformations (the constraints on occupancies are built automatically based on input PDB file).

On top of it, you can specify your own selections for group and individual occupancy refinement. However note, there will be no constraints applied to user selected occupancies.

For example, if you do:
group = chain A and resid 113
there will be one occupancy refined per residue 113 in chain A. If you specify multiple groups they will be treated independently.

Pavel.

Thank you both, I am currently upgrading from 1.3b-rc6 to 1.3-rc2.  From both your responses I take it that there is no longer a group_occupancies option but any pdb file containing residues with alternate conformations will be recognized automatically the group_occupancies refined?

Hi Mark,

1) I see from the parameters file that you are using an outdated version 
of the program where there was a bug in occupancy refinement. Please 
install the latest version.

2) As Ralf mentioned, in the latest version the constraints for 
occupancies of atoms in alternative conformations are built 
automatically based on input PDB file. You don't need to change any 
parameter for this and you don't need to give selections too.

Pavel.

Hi
I have an unexpected result, my syntax must be incorrect.  The  
relevant script commands are below, the problem is residues A113 and  
B143 have alternate conformation occupancies that sums to 0.98 to  
1.06 respectively. Clearly alternate conformations of a single  
residue should sum to 1 (or less than 1 possibly). Any suggestions  
please?
Thank you,  Mark
