[phenixbb] Hi Res Model. Maybe its time to Include Hydrogens?

[Pavel Afonine]

Hi Yuri,

just add them to your model using phenix.ready_set and run refinement as 
usual.
I would expect (*) the R-factors drop by 1.5-2% or so.

Your crystals could probably diffract to a higher resolution limit, 
given how well the map looks like for H atoms and at this resolution.

(*) based on:
