No: they are RIDING hydrogens, they do not influence the refinement
(i.e. bumps), only the Rfactors/maps. Which is not the same as you ask
for with the phi/psi angles.
In general, if your model is correct (and the error can be a few
residues away), the backbone won't move around, even at low resolution.
