Hi Pavel, I will definitely send an example the next time I come across one. There is no way to turn this off then? In most cases it is very helpful, but towards the end of the model building process I don't necessarily want phenix to alter rotamers that I have manually inspected. Yes, I am using dev-4158, the latest nightly available as far as I can see. Cheers Oli

rotamer fitting is designed to do better or leave things alone untouched. If your experience is different, I'd appreciate seeing an example (so that I can make it better!).
Also, I assume you are using one of latest nightly builds..

From the phenix docs, I can see how to modify this behaviour, but not how to switch it off without just switching to rigid body fitting:
rotamers fit = all *outliers_or_poormap outliers_and_poormap outliers poormap Fit side-chains regimes tuneup = outliers outliers_and_poormap Switch remaining (after map fit) outliers to the nearest rotamer restraints enabled = True Use rotamer restraints sigma = Auto The smaller the value, the stronger the restraints target = max_distant min_distant exact_match fix_outliers Choice for the reference conformation to restrain to

Is there any way to turn off rotamer fitting/side chain optimization in phenix.real_space_refine? Sometimes it seems to do more harm than good, and repositions sidechains completely out of the density, but I couldn't find how to switch it off.
