Boaz has some sage advice. I recommend not excluding the Ca-O coordination but changing the ideal to better reflect the distances in your files.
PS I'd also like the PDB files, directly, so as not to put noise on the list.
Cheers

Well, I think it's more of a data-vs-geometry battle, with the geometry dragging in the side chains towards the calciums, and the data pulling them out. When I real-space refine them in Coot, some of the Ca-O distances are pretty different from the "ideal" values. Maybe I could just exclude them from xyz refinement in Phenix after making sure they're correct in Coot? I'll give that a shot.
Kol tuv,

Hi Jacob,
Sucking-up neighboring residues into the Calcium (or other heavier atoms) density is a known issue. Turning-off the Ca-O or other distance restraints around the Calcium is the last thing you want to do, in my experience. You'd better check those distance restraints and verify that they're compatible with the distances in other (preferably high resolution, of course) structures with calcium binding sites similar to yours and then make sure they're given the appropriate weight during refinement. That's my view but Pavel will give you more advices I'm sure.
Cheers,

I am getting a lot of problems with my calcium binding sites--there is clear density for the calciums and the protein side chains, but Phenix keeps sucking the side chains out of their density towards the calciums and also the calciums show some positive difference density, perhaps due to too-high b-factors (or potentially partial occupancy by Na?). I think what might work best is to turn off the Ca-O bond length restraints somehow, but don't see where/how to do that. I tried releasing them from geometrical restraints, but that made things worse, since things went haywire in the sidechains themselves.
Is it possible to make Phenix ignore the Ca-O bond distance restraints?
