[phenixbb] occupancy refinement

[Marco Bellinzoni]

Hi Christian,

all you have to do is to define each sulfate as a constrained group for 
occupancy refinement, like this:

constrained_group {
        selection = "chain C and resid x"
      }
      constrained_group {
        selection = "chain C and resid y"
      }

where resid is simply the residue number. The occupancy of all atoms 
that belong to the same constrained group will be refined to the same value.

Best wishes,
Marco
