[phenixbb] refinement with alternative molecules?

[Su-Chang Lin]

Hi Ralf, 
   I see.  In this case, one molecule is about 100 amino acids. 
The structural differences between two molecules is in the level of secondary elements (loops and helix).
Though the resolution is low, I would like to see if alt. conf. helps (to know the occupancies of two molecules, not to decrease the R factors). If I can use alt. conf. and NCS at the same time, it will be great.

I will try to refine the structure without NCS restraints.

Thanks!
