ensemble refinement with twinned data

Last version of phenix I checked, one cannot do an ensemble refinement with twin data. Anyone know how to do this? If its not worth fixing, can anyone point to a sample cctbx script to start from? Thanks,

Hi George, It’s true that ensemble refinement in phenix.refine is not available for twin data. This is because the way it was originally implemented (mostly by Tom Burnley, quite a while ago) is heavily tied to the maximum-likelihood refinement target function. In the case of twinning, we use an LSQ target, and enabling ensemble refinement in this context would require rewriting a significant portion of the code. I looked into this shortly after we spoke about it at the SB Summit at Arrowhead Lodge, at first hoping I can fix this quickly, but I gave up after a day of poking around the code. Bottom line — it’s possible to implement, but it would require about a week or two of full-time, undistracted effort. All the best, Pavel On 9/24/25 14:21, [email protected] wrote:
