Hi all, I am running into the following problem during the refinement of a rather small structure at 2.15Å resolution: An Arg side chain is located very close to a crystallographic 2-fold. There is good evidence that the side chain has two conformations. However, because of the 2-fold, conformer A overlaps with its symmetry mate A*, as does conformer B. Phenix wants to avoid this 'clash' and moves A and A* out of the density, same for B and B*. Is there a way to avoid this without reducing the symmetry? In the real crystal, of course the two side chains are agnostic as to if they are called A or B and will avoid one another ... Thanks!
