[phenixbb] Restraints for keeping base-pairs co-planar in RNA/DNA

Use secondary structure restraints (verify that PROBE detects all of the base pairs or manually build them and supply to phenix.refine) and reference structure restraints (build a dummy helix that matches your sequence). 


Question for phenix developers.. what's the relationship between secondary structure restraints and reference structure restraints? Does using a reference structure include any additional restraints generated by secondary structure restraints? (as applied to nucleic acid base pairing?)
