[phenixbb] phosphate stereochemistry

[Pavel Afonine]

Hi Luca,

phenix.refine always generates a *.geo file that lists all the geometry 
restraints (bonds, angles, planarities, chiralities, dihedral, 
non-bonded, ncs(if any)) used in refinement for all atoms. For each 
restraint it list current model value, target (library) value, etc.

Can you have a look at *.geo file for O-P bonds in question? May be this 
gives a hint about what's going on?

The refined protein-DNA structure does not present any other unusual stereochemistry issues and refinement runs normally. Could anybody advice on what is going on and how to fix this, please?
